Regional coordinator is Darlene Wood-Harvey, who also is a participant in the abortion-day Prayer Vigil in front of Sarasota Planned Parenthood. She carries her "I regret my abortion" sign. On the web site, Darlene tells her story: "Planned Parenthood's abortionist killed my only child and I am childless.
