Pro-Aborts Censor Pro-Life Presentation On Campus

As it has been the custom:
VANCOUVER, B.C., March 15, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dozens of pro-abortion protesters at the University of British Columbia (UBC) disrupted a pro-life demonstration last Tuesday, which was being sponsored by the University's pro-life club, Lifeline.

The club was running the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), which compares abortion to past genocidal atrocities - displaying, for example, an image of a Holocaust victim beside an image of an aborted baby.

Lifeline has run a GAP campaign nearly every semester since the fall of 1999. The campus pro-abortion group, Students for Reproductive Choice (SRC), usually lines up with their own protest opposite the GAP displays. This year the two groups had signed an agreement with the Student Union stating that they would stay 30 feet away from each other and remain civil and peaceful during the demonstration.

“Unfortunately, certain students from the SRC club did not follow protocol,” said Ania Kasprzak, co-president of Lifeline. SRC members, along with other protesters from the University of Victoria and the Vancouver community, moved in front of the GAP display, where they held large yellow banners with pro-abortion slogans such as, “Unwanted Pregnancy is NOT a choice” and “Full Access to Free Abortion.”
Same old, same old. Slogans versus arguments, myths versus facts, emotions versus reason. "Full access to free abortion" - without explaining why should taxpayers be forced to pay for an elective procedure. "Unwanted pregnancy is not a choice" - without mentioning that pregnancy is a direct consequence of some other action, which is usually nothing but choice. And, as always, they talk about freedom to control own bodies, without uttering a word about the babies' bodies which end up being destroyed by abortion. And when they're out of arguments - they block pro-life displays and shout down pro-life speakers. Because they know that if they let the truth be told - they'll lose.
