“The slaves didn’t have a choice, the woman does.”

Did you know that the Murray State Racers are 2-time NCAA champions in Collegiate Rifle, with 3 additional national championships before Rifle was an NCAA sport?

Not sure what you can do with that information, but when we displayed GAP at Murray State last spring, we took aim at pro-abortion propaganda and we blasted away … in a non-violent way, of course!

Satanic hate, Godly compassion.  CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour approached an angry woman who was shouting absurdities and passing out condoms and calendars.  Laurice accepted a calendar, which, to her great sadness, listed explicit activities for GAYPRIL.  Laurice offered her one of our GAP handouts, and as she looked into the woman’s eyes, she saw that they were full of hate.

Laurice later commented, “That brief encounter catapulted me to the Lord and He spoke His heart, in volumes, to me — His heart of compassion and heartbreak for ones like her lost in hate.”

Prayer is a blessing.  As a demonstration of Christian support, a freshman music major came up to CBR’s Jane Bullington and asked, “May I pray for you?”

The victim never has a choice.  God also sent a pro-life Christian freshman football player over to the GAP display.  James saw his teammates asking CBR’s Joanna Keilson about our comparison of slavery to abortion.  They were confused, saying, “The slaves had no choice; the woman does.”  James explained how neither the slave nor the child had a choice.

Pictures force the breaking point. That’s why the other side desperately tries to hide it.

By Jacqueline Hawkins

In an age of grave injustice, there comes a time in a man’s life where he reaches a breaking point.  He reaches a point where he cannot ignore the plight of millions of victims.  Where he can no longer pretend that a few happy thoughts covers up for apathy.

“I am pro-life but this is too much!!” the frat boy said.  Seeing the pictures upset him so much that his blood pressure seemed to sky rocket.  He couldn’t believe the published numbers of abortions performed every year.  He couldn’t believe any woman would do this.  He couldn’t believe that any of it was real.

He was outraged.  He almost loss control.  He was a perfect example of many people who have no idea of what actually happens to innocent children.  Until he was confronted with the photographic evidence, there’s a good chance that he believed that abortion, while unfortunate, was a safe, legal and rare procedure that removed a blob of tissues that would someday become a cute little baby.

But the pictures forced this young man to reach a breaking point.  A point where he could no longer sit comfortably and do nothing.  His anger was at first turned towards us, the bearers of the message.  That’s a common response, and it shows that the person has a functioning conscience. However, it’s only a matter of time before the anger he felt toward us is turned toward the injustice itself.

We must expose the truth despite all opposition.  Otherwise babies will die and we will share the guilt.

With our double feature at University of Tennessee Knoxville, we picked up several gems. Here are the best and brightest!

No value for life, even his own.  He had attempted suicide 3 times.  He didn’t value his own life, so he obviously wasn’t going to value preborn children.  But CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour shared the Gospel with him and showed him nothing but patience and kindness.  Two of his friends came back later to thank Laurice for giving their friend a life-affirming message of hope.  Pray that he will take it to heart.

A Jewish Christian gets the picture.  Josiah, a junior from Israel, said, “It makes me really sad to see [the pictures].  Don’t stop doing this.  People need to see it.”

Shoved off the fence.  “I’m more on your side; you’re doing a good job of convincing me!”  Kai, an Air Force veteran had heard pro-life arguments, but he wanted to remain neutral.  Seeing the pictures made that hard to do.

Sentient cows and dependent college students.  Dan agreed that humanity must be the criterion that matters.  Sentience can’t be relevant, he said, because “even a cow has sentience.”  He started by arguing that children could be killed up until birth because they are dependent.  But then he acknowledged “I guess that they are still dependent after birth.”  We reminded him that college students are also dependent.  He finally admitted, “I have a lot to think about; I may have to reconsider.”

Thank you!  Thank you for standing up to bullies with your $upport.  Your $upport makes all of this possible. Without your help, we can do nothing and the bullies win!

At ETSU, CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour (at center, wearing a white sweater) takes questions from respectful students (raising their hands), while their teacher (far right) berates CBR volunteers who challenged his absurd accusations.

Every now and then, GAP presents opportunities for volunteers to commandeer indoctrination pods also known as college classes.  This happens despite the diabolical grip the pod leader has on their pod people.

Respecting women?  A male women’s studies teacher brought his class out to rant against GAP.  After class, CBR volunteer Bill Boyer approached this teacher and asked when he thinks life begins.  The man ignored the question and went straight to the ad hominem, “You don’t have the right to tell a woman what she can do with her body because you could never have a baby.”  Bill responded, “I was never a slave owner, so may I not speak against slavery?”  The man exploded in a fit of rage.

Just then a local pastor’s wife joined the discussion.  This “teacher” launched a cursing verbal assault toward her as well.  So much for respecting women.

We’ll take it from here.  With this teacher now distracted by his own tirade, CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour addressed his class, most of whom were still standing on the library steps.  In her own words:

Holy Fire and Holy Love overcame me, righteous indignation, love, and compassion flooded me, and I took over his class.  To my own surprise (!), my mouth opened, and I called out to the female students, loudly enough to overshadow his voice, “Ladies, I love you!  You are being lied to by this professor, and you’ve been lied to by our culture.”  I immediately corrected each lie, one by one, with truth.  I listed the risks of

abortion to their bodies, souls, and relationships.  I shared testimonies of some post-abortive campus peers with whom I had connected. …

The female students became angry, loud, and mob-like — I love mobs — but I called out for order and assured them that each one of their comments and questions would be addressed, one student at a time. Immediately the raging lionesses became sweet li’l lambs, and several began to raise their hands, waiting their turn. The others listened. As God once closed the mouths of the lions in the den where Daniel was thrown, so He closed the mouths of the students, and the accuser of the brethren, who was speaking through the mouth of their professor. After our time of questions, answers, and comments, the class disbanded.  Several of the students came down the steps and shared their personal stories and concerns with me. It was a victory for truth.

And the professor? Well, you’ll have to ask someone else, because I never heard his voice or saw him again.
