Choices Pregnancy Care Center in Gainesville celebrated its 26th year Thursday night at its annual gala fundraiser.The name change, from Gainesville Care Center, Executive Director Ann Gainey said in her introductory remarks, is part of the group’s efforts to reach “abortion-minded women.” “Everything we have done this year has been because if we don’t get the abortion-minded woman through our doors, a baby cannot be saved,” Gainey said. More than 400 people attended the gala in the banquet hall of the First Baptist Church on Green Street to show their support for the center.
