The abortion debate is always present on the corner of Fort Pierce Street.

FORT PIERCE, Florida. On the corner of 12th Street and Delaware Avenue in Fort Pierce, there is always a debate about abortion.

On one side of the street is the Women’s World Medical Center, which offers abortion services. On the other side is Birthline/Lifeline, a Catholic charity offering alternatives to abortion.

The street corner was the subject of a 2010 HBO documentary titled “12th and Delaware.”

“I think they’re separated, I believe they are,” said Mike Kringoli, an anti-abortion proponent who sat on the sidewalk in front of Women’s World and gave the rosary. “A couple of people come up to me and ask me what I’m doing here, and I explain it to them.”

Mike Cringoli prays for an end to abortion outside of the Fort Pierce abortion clinic.

“Most women don’t know they’re pregnant at six weeks,” Dai said. “I don’t force anyone to come here. They call me on the phone. People want to come here. They need it.”

Dai also said she was worried that if the bill passed, women would still try to have unsafe abortions.

“I’ll be here until they force us to close the doors because I mean this fight is a legal fight,” Dai said.
