Video: Another campus pro-life memorial vandalized

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 7, 2008 09:45 AM

It has happened again. In January 2006, pro-abortion thugs destroyed a pro-life memorial of wooden crosses at Louisiana State University. In April 2006, a nutball feminist professor at Northern Kentucky University led another destructive raid on a pro-life Cementery of Innocents. And this week, at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, pro-abortion vandals struck–pulling up hundreds of crosses from a display sponsored by Pointers for Life. College Republican Ryan Wrasse sent me a video of one of the pro-abortion thugs gone wild– a student government senator named Roderick King:

    Most Americans are unaware that BHO supports partial birth abortions you know when the baby doesn’t die when its supposed to so they kill it.

    Dilation and extraction is a ghastly procedure. But it’s much safer for women than other second trimester abortion methods (which are protected by Planned Parenthood v. Casey). Legislation outlawing D+X abortions are incredibly foolish because:

    1. They don’t change anything. Other abortive methods are still available.

    2. Those other abortive methods, namely dilation and evacuation, which are equally murdery to the anti-abortion crowd, are often surgical in nature. Some people don’t respond well to anesthesia. Some people don’t want or can’t afford longer stays in a hospital.

    So these bans have the same result but with the potential for more pain for the woman. This is unacceptable.

    Fact: Legalizing abortion has made it much safer.

    Safer for who? The emotionally scarred woman? The father who’s baby was destroyed? Or the child who had its body torn to shreds?

    Fact: Legalized abortion has been the single greatest reducer of crime in the U.S.

    How so? And what constitutes that ridiculous remark as a “fact.” … or are you another racist who assumes that since more black children are murdered by abortion, the crime rate must have decreased.

    Stunning.

    Fact: Legalized abortion is actually helping to reduce the number of abortions.

    Was there even a “fact” in that list of “facts.” Legalized abortion may be reducing the number of Democrats, but I can’t substantiate that either.

    Abortion is unacceptable. The baby has no say on whether he/she is okay with being murdered and tossed in the trash at the second trimester to spare his/her mother the pain of the procedure slaughter.

    Well, that’s pretty much why pro-choice advocates fight so hard against any limitation to abortion. The end goal is to ban all abortions, so they can’t let people start picking and choosing which types of abortions should remain legal.

    Which only goes to show they lack any sense of morality that they would push for late term abortions in the most gruesome ways. The pro-choice groups love to try and gain sympathy for their cause by saying that “no one wants an abortion, we are trying to reduce it so that it is a rare and nearly non-existent procedure”. Which is total and utter bullcrap, they want nothing more than to have it used for after-the-fact birth control and could care less if it reduces or not. If it did, they would be out of business.

    If they really wanted to reduce the number of abortions I propose (no matter what stage the baby is at) showing the mother the baby after it has been aborted. After that image gets stuck in their head, I garuntee you most of them will never want to have an abortion again after seeing their child like that. Because unlike the lies given by the pro-choice side, you included Rusty, it is not just a clump of cells. I’ve had a cyst before removed, that was a clump of cells. It didn’t affect my morals or conscience and I could look at it with no problems at all because that was not a human being. Why can’t women then dare look at their aborted “clump of cells”? Is it because they know, deep down in their soul, that that clump of cells is really a human being that could have been an amazing person living out their life?

    Forgive me Lord for having to be so graphic to make my point.

    A beautiful post, Alaskan Grizzly.

    It reminded me of an interview I saw some ten years ago, with a lovely young lady whose arm had been severed - while she was in the womb - by an abortionist doctor’s knife.

    I forgot the reason, (I think the doctor had caused the mother-to-be to commence hemorrhaging with his hapless butchery) but the slaughter was halted and the little girl was born without an arm.

    Abortion is a scourge on mankind.

    AKGrizz, then I guess my next question would be “when do you think life begins?” If you say conception, then we’re back with the argument I always throw at EQ. If life begins at conception, do you advocate outlawing IUDs and Plan B birth control?

    If you do, that’s fine. But it’s not a position that the average American will sympathize with.

    Rusty, I will never understand your mindset. You don’t want criminals executed yet you have no problems with babies. If you had been aborted then you wouldn’t be here. I would not have had to support you on welfare. You were born, I supported you and now you feel you can mock those who took care of you in a small way by providing the tax dollars that your mother was given because she didn’t want to find a job. That’s the unfortunate system and you took advantage of it as did your mother.
    A person on death row today got there because he/she took someone else’s life. I think they should be put out to pasture with hard labor and no contact with their families because I am pro-life across the board. You want to kill those who did not take a life. You are a tool of the liberal, give me all the benefits I can get my hands on crowd. Thanks for showing how it is always about you, you couldn’t play frisbee on the quad. Liberals are the most self-absorbed people on the planet. If it is not convienient to you it must be destroyed.
    Your Plan B argument is also flawed.
    BTW my cousin has said that the fellow Soldiers he keeps in touch with who are now in college are also mocked. You’re out of your gourd, conservatives are ridiculed and those who served are called killers. Good things being taught in college by liberal pukes like little girly man and stuff you bought into hook, line and sinker. I don’t want to hear about your beloved Uncle again and just how much you love him. Most people do love their family members and you should thank him everyday you can sit at your keyboard as one of the Keyboard Warriors and mock those who paid taxes to take care of you, served so you didn’t have to and with whom you disagree. Have a nice day.

    Right at the begining of the video he says “Abortion is a right and you do not have the right to challenge it.”

    How about “Gun ownership is a right and you do not have the right to challenge it. One is written in the Constitution using INK. The other is in the ‘penumbra’.”

    Say that the next time that Constitutionally ignorant, cranial-rectosis sufferer says something that stupid.

    3. IT could just be delivered alive, but then you have the problem of caring for IT or filling out the paperwork if you give IT up for adoption. Plus there is the nightmare that IT might come looking for you 20+ years from now Think of all the trouble THAT could cuase. If you just pull out all but the head, make a small cut at the base of the skull, and vacuum out the brain it avoids those pesky problems. Otherwise you have to insert a vegematic to scramble IT before vacuuming out the pieces.

    Kaos, I don’t disagree with you. You make great points. I am quite pro-choice, but I don’t necessarily think it’s a Constitutionally protected liberty.

    Terrig on the other hand, what the Hell?

    I would not have had to support you on welfare. You were born, I supported you and now you feel you can mock those who took care of you in a small way by providing the tax dollars that your mother was given because she didn’t want to find a job. That’s the unfortunate system and you took advantage of it as did your mother.

    Who am I mocking? I am always trying my best to be respectful here.

    What does my uncle have to do with anything? I assume you’re referring to the one who served in Vietnam and Iraq (as opposed to the one who served three tours in Vietnam or the one who served in Operation Desert Storm.). What does he have to do with anything? Where have I ever called a soldier a killer? Where have I ever disrespected our troops?

    I never said anti-abortion protests should be destroyed. I didn’t play baseball or frisbee out of respect for that protest. And calling me selfish? Perhaps. Would it be selfish for you to complain if you were caught in traffic because of a war protest? Being inconvenienced is not the same as being selfish.

    I have never received welfare dollars. My mom did ten years before I was born. I was blessed to be born and raised in a middle class home with two parents who chose to bring me into this world.

    Your Plan B argument is also flawed.

    Why? Plan B is a post-conception hormone cocktail that prevents implementation. If life begins at conception, Plan B is a form of abortion. Same as IUDs. But people don’t hoot and holler over those forms of birth control because most people support those methods. Not as mant support abortion. So you have people arguing and protesting against one form of “murder” while turning the other cheek towards another form of “murder.”

    If saving “babies’” lives was such a moral imperative, why do anti-choicers use a “fight the battles we can win” mentality?

    If you factor out the purely elective abortions, the number of rape or incest victims obtaining abortions will be so low there would likely be no discussion of the matter, because there would be so few.

    That’s what I mean when I call this kind of case a red herring. It is not that it does not occur, it is that the occurance is so rare it is not enough to justify the enormous number of abortions each year.

    The best counter-argument I’ve heard (so far) to this was
    “Well sometime in a real emergency you’ll have to drive faster than the posted speed limit. Therefore we should get rid of speed limits.”

    The evil Catholic Church (I know they’re hated around here, but…) has been against Plan B from the beginning.

    Most people don’t KNOW that Plan B mainly prevents implantation. The major sources of information don’t mention it. If PP does mention it, I’d be shocked if it wasn’t buried.

    Is/Was it? If the partial birth abortion wasn’t being performed to same the life of the mother, why butcher the child at all? Wait a few more weeks and deliver an otherwise healthy baby.

    A few years back, a female buddy of mine (against my advice), sought an abortion. She had it, and in our friendship since, has exhibited absolutely no signs of lasting impact from the experience.

    Becuase the psychological pain of later realizing you slaughtered you own child is something one wears on one’s sleeve.

    I occasionally remember bad things I did or said and feel regret or remorse, but I doubt there is any readable outward sign, even to my closest friends.

    Have you ever sat down with her and specifically asked about it?

    Not to drag up old wounds, but I think the thread you refer to had a lot of slander going on in all directions. EQ’s blog had several commenters calling Evangelicals bigots and appeared to place sola scriptura on a moral equivalency with atheism. Ouch. I was trying my best to have a rational discussion on that thread, but alas a few people went off the deep end with some of their brazen claims.

    Well Rusty, once upon a time you said you and your mother were on welfare. Which is it, you were are you weren’t. Either way, somebody who paid taxes supported that person, as we do all kinds of people, including illegals but that’s another story for another day.
    Being inconvienienced by anti war pukes is a problem but it’s a problem that because they’re able to protest thanks to those of us who do and have served they can create-why is it they all smell so bad? They tend to also be pro death and call the military killers. Kind of strange isn’t it?
    Well, liberals on the whole tend to call Soldiers killers and who knows if you did in college. You as I said have the luxury of mocking those who serve because you’re not forced to, it is a “choice”.
    Sorry, if babies are an inconvience to liberals, I don’t think they are but those of you who think it’s a fantastic thing, should consider that you were once a choice and your life was a 50/50 chance.
    You cannot tell me why it’s okay to kill babies but not people who kill. I don’t really get it, with you pro death folks because children are innocent. As I have said, put those on death row somewhere that is out in the middle of no mans land, where they don’t have cable, and contact with their families. It is for God to decide our time of death.
    Newsflash again, you said that “other groups” are mocked on campus, those in ROTC have always been mocked by liberals even when I was in school. I was hated by 7 profs because I had been active duty and was currently in the reserves while in college. I think you have it wrong.
    Again, I am sorry liberals think children are punishment (BObummer) and that they are an inconvience. It is truly sad when you value the life of a killer over a baby but that is the way the liberals tend to be and you don’t believe in the death penalty regardless unless it’s for the “clump of cells” of which you once were.

    Well Rusty, once upon a time you said you and your mother were on welfare. Which is it, you were are you weren’t.

    Before you start with the smarmy tone, stop to consider that you may have misunderstood. I said my mom was once on welfare. This was over a decade before my birth.

    And so what if she was? She was a single mom who needed help to get by. She got the help and worked through it and is now a happy, successful woman.

    Yeah. Welfare totally sucks.

    And I was never a 50/50 chance. It’s a logical fallacy to think that if there are two options, that they all have an equal chance of being selected.

    Well, liberals on the whole tend to call Soldiers killers and who knows if you did in college. You as I said have the luxury of mocking those who serve because you’re not forced to, it is a “choice”.

    What? Are you drunk? This makes no sense.

    Anyways, I have never called a soldier a killer or a murderer and I don’t know anyone else who has. And I run with a pretty liberal crowd. If someone did it in front of me they’d have an argument on their hands. I am related to four veterans and friends with another. They are all heroes.

    If I lumped all soldiers together like you foolishly do with liberals, you’d have a point. But you most certainly do not have a point other than hating people who disagree with you.

    Talk further to your liberal friends and you probably will get it out of them. They despise the military for some reason, not sure what it is.

    Just using the “choice” word and again, why is it okay to kill babies and fight against those who kill others? Again, I don’t get why you fight so hard to protect the killer but not the unborn. Yes, you were a choice.
