Below is the link to the full video on the County website. A total of about 80 speakers. It begins around minute 37 - it is possible to scroll through the video. Most of the early speakers are pro-abortion and speaking on behalf of politicians eager to quash prolife speech outside clinics through the intimidation which is crafted into the bill (Of course that's not how they put it!). However the majority of speakers are pro-free speech, including three women who had abortions in Westchester and say they wish they had received the kind of information given by sidewalk counselors outside clinics.
This is a long video - the testimonies in total run about four hours. We have our own video breaking out many of the different speakers and will be posting it over the next several days.
