From Eduardo Suastegui:

Abortion pictures spark debate about the morality and legality of decapitating and dismembering tiny Americans.

Just two years after our first visit to Old Dominion U (ODU) in Norfolk, Va., we were back for another round.  This time, the abortion pictures had just as great an impact as Round 1.

Lightening the load.  A pro-life student has witnessed the power of pictures.  He said, “Thank you so much.  I love it when you guys come to campus.  I don’t know how to talk to people about this, so it’s great that you are here.”

Another student expressed similar sentiments, “Thank you.  I never know how to bring this issue up and your display starts conversations.”

It impacts everyone.  Olivia cried because her father strongly pressured her mother to abort her older sister.  (We wonder what he thinks now?)

Kill them all. “Just kill all the kids, I don’t care!!” she told Joanna.

Hard target.  CBR staffer Maggie overheard 2 guys and 1 girl having an interesting conversation.

Girl: Why don’t you go talk to her [Maggie]?
Guy 1: No. I don’t want to.
Guy 2: So you’re happy to argue with old white men but not a young white woman?
Guy 1: [Inaudible]
Guy 2: Maybe ‘cause you can’t use her age and gender against like you just did with that guy.

Homicide better than suicide?  Student: “Women must be given the choice to abort because we never know if that woman will kill herself without it.”  In other words, women are weak and can’t handle the problems they get themselves into.

Battling the negative vibes.  “For you to put up with these negative attitudes, thank you. It must be hard,” A professor told Jane.

Easy Results. Two adult African-American women asked Mik’aela about rape while a pro-abortion student stood nearby.

Mik’aela:  Should we kill the rapist?
Woman:  No!
Mik’aela:  Should the child get the death penalty instead?
Woman:  Oh! Oh! Oh! You got me! You got me! You’re right!

Her friend agreed and they both thanked Mik’aela and continued to discuss how Mik’aela’s answer was such a good point.  The pro-abortion girl just watched them, thinking.

CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour from Maine engages a group of students at UNC Greensboro.

Almost everyone prefers to ignore abortion.  But when we bring the truth of abortion into the light, it’s almost impossible for anyone to avoid it.

Government is God.  “I know it is human but if society says abortion is morally justifiable, so do I,” he told Mik’aela.  “If society changes its mind, would you change too?” Mik’aela asked.  “Yes. Where else can we get our morality from?”  If government can’t tell us what’s right, then who can?

Consistent to a fault.  A young woman told us that a woman has the right to kill because it is her body.  Even a moment before birth.  Even during the birth.  Even after birth if the umbilical cord is still attached.  She defended all three, though she was uncomfortable with the last one.  Perhaps her consistency can help her see the depravity of her position.

Backfired attempt.  A young woman called the police because she wanted them to remove us from campus.  However, the police ended up threatening to take her to jail because she was being so disrespectful.

Don’t be mean to abortionists!  A young man said we shouldn’t compare abortionists to death-camp doctors.  Meanwhile he argued for abortion to prevent children from having bad lives.

The voice of tolerance.  As she threw sandbags off our display she told Jane, “Don’t touch me, b****.  I hit women, too.”

So many hurting.  “Good morning,” he said as he took a pamphlet and then said very softly, “I wish I had been aborted.”  This young man needs our prayers.

Students often take photos of our signs to share with their friends.  That way, even more people will that abortion decapitates and dismembers children.

Our first visit to UNC Greensboro was met with hostility.  On this trip, GAP certainly stimulated a response, but it was less hostile and more thoughtful.

Not so sure anymore.  At our poll table, she voted for abortion to remain legal, but after speaking with Mik’aela, she took her name off!  “I am not sure anymore,” she said.

Bravery.  “Your bravery is so incredible.  Thank you so much,” Wyatt told CBR staffer Jane Bullington.

Let’s talk about abortion!  Phil approached Jane.  “I have to do a persuasive speech and the only forbidden topic was abortion.  Then you guys explode the topic on campus!”

More appealing than the other side.  A young man went up to some of the protesters and said, “Sometimes I think their logic is better than yours, and I’m even on your side!” he exclaimed.  Later he said to the same folks, “The only one who has yelled at me was over there [he pointed to a pro-abort] and she was in my grill so much it made me want to go to the other side.”

Freudian slip.  After a long conversation, pro-abortion Ben was about to leave, but said one more thing, “I think a woman has the right to do what she wants to do with her baby.”  Jane challenged that last word.  “Baby or body?” she asked.  “You know what I meant,” he insisted.  “Yes,” Jane replied, “You said baby.”

Students don’t take sex seriously.  A professor from Senegal approached one of our staff.  “I have a hard time with blood and gore, but I am glad you are here.  We need this. Students don’t take sex seriously.  I waited until marriage to have sex and I have Christian friends of the same mindset.  It can be done.  Thank you for being here.”
