DALLAS — Despite a recent expansion in abortion services available in North Texas, pro-life groups say they will continue to protest a practice they believe is immoral.

An expanded clinic now offers controversial, late-term abortions for women who are up to six months' pregnant.

On Saturday, protesters gathered to call attention to the estimated 300,000 pregnancies terminated at the old location.

Gloria Ramirez knows the spot well. At least 18 times previously, she clutched her rosary beads while standing in front of the Fairmont Women's Clinic trying to convince pregnant women there are alternatives to abortion.

"During my time here, I have seen about two or three turnarounds that have changed their minds," she said. "To me, that's significant."

If she is to continue to her efforts, Ramirez will need to take her appeals to the Fairmont's new location.
