It makes them look bad. They had no right. Truly, they had no right. Freedom of Speech applies to everyone, not just those we agree with. They would have been within their rights to set up a display that showed their side of the issue, but not to destroy what they disagreed with. I am personally ashamed of what they have done, and am sorry that it is anyway attached to the freedom for women that must be protected. That’s too bad. It makes them look bad. They had no right.

It would seem so, in examining what seems to tickle your funny bone in message 10.

This is a very basic and obvious fallacy that "smart Loyola students" ought to be able to see through.

The group took down the girl's confidential personal information and told her to come back for her appointment, which they said would be in their "other office" (the real Planned Parenthood office nearby). When she arrived for her appointment, not only did the Planned Parenthood staff have no record of her, but the police were there — the "crisis pregnancy center" had called them, claiming that a minor was being forced to have an abortion against her will. The "crisis pregnancy center" staff then proceeded to wage a campaign of intimidation and harassment over the following days, showing up at the girl's home and calling her father's workplace. Our clinic director reports that she was "scared to death to leave her house." They even went to her school and urged classmates to pressure her not to have an abortion. This cruel and fraudulent behavior shows exactly what's behind the proliferation of these centers. That's why this new bill is so important: it would make it illegal for any entity to advertise abortion services if it does not provide such services.

As someone who has been involved in many major issues (veganism/animal rights, anti-sweatshop, Ralph Nader's campaign in 2004, anti-death penalty, environmental actions, anti-police brutality, anti-racist actions, poverty issues....as well as having been involved in two organizations and one meeting that were under federal surveillance in 2004-2005), and considered more of a progressive than most (at least, until they find out I'm pro-life), I see it as more hypocritcal for someone who claims to be for life in Iraq, in the slums, etc to NOT oppose abortion, than it is for someone who opposes abortion to not oppose the rest. The very fact that abortion is direct violence inflicted upon the most innocent and vulnerable of all humanity is cause for people to make it a priority.

And how can you congratulate someone for violence? What we did at Loyola was peaceful and respectful and it was immature (not thoughtful) students who detroyed our display. You're mentality worries me. I hope you wouldn't resort to violence, but somthing tells me that you might. Lauren,

If you would like to put up crosses for children who have died by other means, go for it. Hopefully the people on your campus have more respect for human life then the ones mentioned in the article.
