You Can Silence A Man, But You Can't Silence The Truth

Back in October, a bunch of pro-abortion hecklers succeeded in shutting down Jojo Ruba's pro-life presentation at McGill university. But even that turns out to be more like a Pyrrhic victory for them:

As discouraging as the protest was, what it ensured was that more discussion occurred. Students debated the issue in their student media. Even the local CTV affiliate mentioned the story as did the National Post. More importantly, these debates were not just about free speech but what kind of free speech is acceptable on campus – is it fair to compare the victims of abortion with the victims of past genocides? That’s exactly the kind of question we want students asking.

Even abortion advocates came to ask me questions after the talk. One of the more vocal hecklers approached me and looked contrite. He said that in the brief time he could hear my presentation, when he stopped heckling, he actually began to listen. “I know you probably don’t want to talk to me but I wanted you to know that after hearing a little bit of your talk, I see where you were going and wanted to hear more.”

This shows why it is so important for us to be on the frontlines of the abortion debate. When abortion advocates use these tactics, it is because their arguments are so weak, they cannot stand under scrutiny. Their actions betray their desperation. I even found an article that was being distributed by the protesters written by Denisse Temin. In it, she complains about how effective pro-lifers are in reopening the abortion debate on campus. She writes “I am deeply concerned about how anti-choice youth groups are forging a battle within the grounds of educational institutions…This has grabbed the media’s attention, stirring public debate and backlash against [abortion advocates]…”

So, even a few words of truth can sometimes be enough to make at least one of the pro-abortion bullies reconsider his behavior. No wonder the pro-aborts are so paranoid about pro-life presentations on campus. For now, they may have the campus security and the police on their side (as the former doesn't care to put an end to their bullying and the latter doesn't bother to charge those few that actually got arrested). For now they may even have the support from the silent majority that simply doesn't care. But, thanks to the devoted students like Jose Ruba, Stephanie Gray and many others - the tide is starting to turn.
