A monument to unborn children consists of 27 sculptures in the form of small children. Why 27? That's the number of abortions, according to statistics, every day do in Latvia. Each kid has a small pedestal on which, in three languages (Russian, English and Latvian) written 27 stories, more reasons due to which mothers of these babies decided to have an abortion. For example, the woman already has a child and husband died, and she decides that she will not be able to raise two productive members of society and consents to the abortion.
