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:

    I don’t understand why they are so upset – abortion is okay, it’s not a baby, but a clump of cells. Let those stupid pro-lifers plant their crosses as a tribute to those clumped up cells. They should be laughing. Why the vandalism? What’s the matter?

    Ugh, I hated those protests on my quad. They’d always wait until Spring when people wanted to play baseball and frisbee.

    Of course, none of us pulled a Roderick King.

    I want to see which person we have, that’s labeled as a troll, who will denounce this.

    Peaceful protests by pro-life supporters.
    Angry, destructive response by pro choicers.

    Looks like its ok for them to choose things, except, ya know…free speech for dissenting opinions.

    So, lgm…where are you at here?

    I am so glad I err on the side of babies.

    You call Rusty on this, but maybe the people putting up the ‘Cemetery for the Innocents’ should’ve had that thought too, and considered other students.

    Just sayin’ this sort of thing wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes in springtime when I went to school. Not when there’s frisbee and flag football to play. Students wanting to use the lawn probably wouldn’t have even bothered to notice what the crosses were for.

    My latest grandbaby was born, just two months ago at 26 weeks gestation. He is still in the NICU but to see him fight so hard for his life and go through what he has gone through to live! It’s humbling and it’s incredible and to know some would tear him limb from limb in the womb so they wouldn’t have to be bothered because he doesn’t fit into their plans…

    when we destroy and kill our own young….what hope do we have as a society?

    And put up a second sign about how the Abortion movement does not want you to hear the Pro Life messege.

    And how, if life begins at conception, then the crosses on the ground denote what the abortion providers think of those souls…

    It’s easy to understand how these students came to the conclusion that it’s okay to kill babies. They grew up with the daily assurance that it was all right to have sex without worrying about the consequences. As a matter of fact, there were no consequences, there were only inconveniences, or as Senator Obama calls them, burdens.

    I don’t even need to ask the question but since our liberal friends are so far removed from rational thought here goes…. What if this had been a pro-choice display with the same space of grass reserved for signs promoting Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice slogans? What if some nut ran through those pro-choice signs uprooting them and slashing them and acting like a total out of control freak?

    Yeah… it would be front page news, the kid would have been arrested for a hate crime, and sued by PP and the ACLU.

    Do you shove people out of the way, rather than waiting in line?

    The guy’s irrational hatred of pro-life messages and people (which he justifies with his supposed concern for the feelings of women who have had/will have abortions) is pathologically self-centered, and immature, but not a hanging offense.

    Wasn’t there an ‘art’ display in Maine about walking on the American Flag recently? When the Vietnam War veteran objected to it and started picking up the flags off of the floor, he was confronted and told not to mess with the piece.

    I don’t understand why this guy gets to be a vandal because he errantly believes that abortion is a constitutional right. It must have done its job if it upsets him. Every abortion is another life ended. Each one of those crosses he touches could be another Einstein but we’ll never know because we killed them.

    This is both shocking and untrue. Abortion cuts across all demographics. People have never been able to find a link between abortion and future decreases in crime. A wealthy person or a person from a wealthy family is just as likely to have an abortion as a person who can’t afford to have children.

    Antaradus, what you’re advocating is eugenics. You’re an anti-choice fantasy. Someone who supports abortion for evil reasons when you have no idea what you’re talking about. People like you are few and far between, but you do a great job of hurting the pro-choice movement.

    No I am not. I am simply stating that I can see an advantage to the current legal situation we have here:

    a) abortion is legal

    b) people who don’t want their children would in all likelihood raise them to relatively poor standards: neglect can more easily lead to crime than a good upbringing.

    c) if they want to abort their own unwanted future criminals, let them. It’ll cost society a lot less in the long run.

    So I’m not advocating eugenics. I’m being pragmatic.

    But what if the child they are aborting would have become the scientist that cured cancer and AIDS?
    What if that child had grown up to be the diplomat that resolved the crisis in the Middle East?
    What if the child grew up to be the parent of a family that got out of the poverty and depression they were in.

    You are pre-judging the child as a criminal for the sake of convenience.

    Of course I don’t condone what King did. If something is obviously wrong and/or stupid, why am I in the position where I have to state the obvious or else it is presumed I support vandalism?

    I mentioned that my friends and I never diddled with the anti-choice protests on our quad. King behaved immaturely and did something I would never support. I feel like my statements on free speech in these threads has made it clear that I’m pretty consistent on these matters.

    Honestly, I can’t say I blame you for your viewpoint. Personally, I would like to deal with the undesirables we already have, but…

    It’s hard for me to take a stance on this, for personal reasons, without being hypocritical.
    Odd… Going 180 from your previous posts to “slightly” agreeing with Eugenics is a bit revealing.

    Quite the contrary. I dont agree with his point of view at all. I’m just saying I can understand his point of view based on my own experience.

    To be direct, I was with a woman before that had an abortion with a child I fathered. We were young, poor, and not in a position to have a child, but…i wanted to keep it anyway. She didn’t. Said it was “undesirable and inconvenient”. I hated her for it, and our relationship didn’t last long afterwards. Hence, I try to not really choose a side, because even though I protested her actions, I was the one who ended up paying for it to be done because I could not sway her otherwise. It instills in me a lack of pride and leaves a sense of guilt (that while it doesnt eat me alive), is something I must contend with for the remainder of my days.

    His posting previously is his personal thought. And I can understand the point of view, to a small degree. But don’t confuse understanding for acceptance. I do NOT agree with abortion. But, because I personally feel that I’m guilty of something on those lines, I cannot condemn others who feel the opposite of myself. Maybe thats jacked up…but the burden I bear is too. And it’s sad, because I make cute kids too (slight attempt at humor to lighten a somber subject)! :)

    And dealing with the undesirables we have is more of a dig at taking care of current social problems, as well as removing some of the trolls here ;)

    I apologize if I wasn’t clear. This is a tougher subject for me. Hope that clears it up just a bit. If it doesnt make sense…well, sorry for that too.

    I’ll add my prayers as well.

    Our 2nd child was a premie as well… born 2 1/2 months premature and weighed 2 lbs 10 3/4 oz. She dropped down to 2 lbs 1 1/4 oz before finally gaining weight. You could hold her in one hand. This past weekend, she went to her first prom and is doing very well.

    The saddest part about being in the NICU was that about half were crack babies and were continually shaking, going through withdrawal.

    It’s hard to look at a premie and conceive of how some people consider it “just a lump of unwanted cells”. Very, very sad…

    I will keep your grandbaby and families in our prayers.

    Vandalism of this kind is just another demonstration of the “Fairness Doctrine:” anti-abortionists offer their point of view, then pro-abortionists “express” themselves in return.

    But hey, at least the anti-lifers are intellectually consistent:

    - They destroy life; they destroy exhibits in support of life.

    - Unborn children “inconvenience” them; so do lawn displays that might interfere with their fun. So they destroy both.

    I wasn’t aware that the First Amendment contained a clause granting us freedom from offense or “feeling bad” for our choices. Must be from the living, breathing version.

    Exactly. What makes the Left in this country so dangerous is that they are “in” a free society, but not “of” it. So they see nothing wrong with re-interpreting our foundational principles in ways that either turn them upside down or gut them:

    - The “right to life” becomes subordinate to “the pursuit of happiness.”

    - Freedom of speech becomes entirely dependent on whether they agree with what’s being said.

    - Freedom of religion becomes freedom from religion.

    - The Second Amendment becomes a means for disarming the citizenry and concentrating firepower solely in the hands of the government.

    - Habeas Corpus becomes a means of shielding, aiding and abetting our foreign enemies.

    - The Fourteenth Amendment becomes a springboard for reverse-racism, reverse-sexism and reverse discrimination.

    It’s the kind of thinking and behavior above which is why any time the Left gains a lock on power the result is typically mass repression, mass imprisonment and mass murder. The American Left is no different in this regard; what holds them back is only the residual consciousness of most Americans in the idea that this is a society based on the rule of law, plus the fact that the military still swears its oath to the Constitution instead of to whomever occupies the White House and the citizenry is still armed.

    But they’ll keep boring away at the social fabric until the whole thing falls apart; then what David Horowitz calls “The Revolutionary Ideal” can move in to fill the void. Deep down, this is what excites so many leftists about the prospect of an Obama presidency. He’s one of their own, and can move up their timetable considerably.

    Oh, please. My wife was supposed to have an abortion. Becky was going be born with a gapping hole in her spine. Guess what was being forced on her. ABORTION. Every day she had to hear it from friends and family. The Doctors and nurses were cruel to my wife for “bringing something into the world that would not survive anyway”. She was “wrong to bring this child into the world”. My wife suffered like you will never know. The only option be given her was ABORTION. My wife kept praying for her baby. She never gave up.

    Today, Becky is a beautiful young lady who has given us our first grandbaby.

    I know, we were punished with children. I am glad your parents were not “forced” to have you. Forced – geezzzz – get real. She would have loved you less?
