On the day of the National Council elections, anti-abortion activists are once again drawing attention to their cause with a "prayer march" through Bregenz. The state's counseling centers are extremely critical of this commitment.

Anti-abortion activists regularly hold vigils in front of Bregenz State Hospital. Every second Sunday of the month, a prayer procession also takes place through Bregenz, where many more participants draw attention to what they consider to be the unlawful possibility of abortion.
