Lee U student learns that God is appalled when we do nothing about injustice.

“We are almost all pro-life…” said a Lee University student who opposed our March 2019 visit.  If that is true, then why are “almost all” Lee students, alumni, administrators, and faculty—and their churches—doing almost nothing to end abortion? 

Unfortunately, almost doesn’t count when innocent babies are being slaughtered by Christians and non-Christians alike.  Many students and faculty at Lee University had never seen abortion until we showed it to them.

Shocking warning.  As soon as we set up the first day, Isaac approached us and said, “This university is getting more liberal and students won’t want to see these.  Abortion is being ‘normalized’ and they think it is a clean procedure that should be allowed.”  God was using this student to confirm we had gone to the right place.

Encouragement is always welcome.  A young woman told us, “I appreciate you guys devoting your time to this great cause.”  And another said, “These pictures are graphic, but I think they’re saying what they need to say.”  Indeed.

A God moment.  Three angry girls were badgering CBR staffer Joanna Keilson with questions, barely letting her answer and repeatedly claiming our images were harming children.  While they were still ranting, a family walked up: a father carrying a toddler, a pregnant mother, and a 6-year-old child.  The father took his children over to the sign, pointed, and said to the oldest, “See, that’s the doctor’s hand.  He’s holding a small baby that was aborted.”  He went on to explain what that meant and why it’s wrong.  

You don’t represent us.  A group of ministry school students came out against us, claiming that they represented the ministry school.  Several other ministry students came to support us and told the others, “You don’t represent us; we’re pro-life.” 

Shocking fear.  Two of the ministry students who supported us were saddened by the negative reactions of their fellow students.  One of their professors encouraged them, but was afraid to join us himself, for fear he might get fired.  Think about that.  A professor at a Christian university is afraid of being fired for standing against child sacrifice.  He told his students, “The abolitionists used these same methods. These students just don’t like it because it’s the one injustice they don’t want to deal with.”
