A crowd of almost 700 people packed the downtown Owensboro Convention Center on Thursday night to advocate for the sanctity of life and remember those lost to abortion.
The annual Right to Life of Owensboro banquet drew business and religious leaders alike along with politicians such as U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a Bowling Green Republican.
