Mixed Nuts at Boise State University
More from our trip to Boise State University (BSU).
Circumstances trump biology. “Based on my personal research, I have found that life, even if it biologically starts at conception, doesn’t start then because of all the different circumstances for the woman!” Ah! So that’s how it works. Whether you are alive or not depends on your mother’s circumstances. Hmm. Fletcher’s mother is 90 years old and not feeling well. Does that mean he is not alive and may be killed? YIKES!
And how do you kill somebody who is not alive?
Rolling in their graves. “My family lost two men in the war to free the Jews! They are rolling in their graves because of this!” This from a male communist who pretended to be a woman and shouted many, many obscenities. “The constitution was written by a bunch of white slave holders who wanted to f— each other!” His ancestors may well be rolling in their graves, but it’s a matter of claim whether it was because of us or because of their foul-mouthed, Constitution-bashing, communist, gender-confused descendant.
Thanks from the other side. Pro-abortion protester with Planned Parenthood sign: “You all have been very respectful. Thank you for being here and trying to get your word out. I appreciate you allowing me to get my word out.” We always defend the rights of others to have their say.
Kids raised to have choices? “You guys are so incredibly ignorant. You’re targeting a group of kids who have been raised to have choices!”
Don’t do what I’m doing! She said, “Of course, these pictures work! But you’re going about it the wrong way! Don’t tell women that they are wrong!” We are glad she recognizes that abortion pictures work. But she tells us we are wrong to tell people they are wrong. I wonder what that would sound like if she followed her own rule.
Twisted morality. “It is immoral to have a child you can’t care for,” he said, in defense of abortion. So the moral thing to do is to kill them?
The immense struggle of pregnancy (according to a male). A young man lamented, “My mother had to do so much when she was pregnant with my sister. She had such a burden on her life! She had to watch what she ate, watch what she drank, and she had to exercise carefully!” Oh! The horror!
Gems at Boise State University
This was our first trip to Boise State University (BSU) in many years. When our team arrived the first morning, there were students praying at the flagpole before sunrise. Dean of Students Dr. Chris Wuthrich and the Chief of Police came out to welcome us and the Dean set up a table nearby and stayed there all day both days. He told us, “If students complain, send them over to us and we’ll give them a lecture on the First Amendment.” We have never seen this before. At the end of our time on campus, the Dean thanked us for our professional manner
Blue hair, do care. “This is needed. It must be hard, but I respect you for being out here showing the truth,” said Kendra, a sweet blue haired girl from Mexico. She grew up in a Christian home. Her mother raised 9 children without their father. The young woman assured us that her mother would also be happy with what we were doing. She told Joanna about her sister having an unplanned pregnancy at 17. Despite it all, she kept her child, got through school, including dental school. That baby is now 17 today and is dearly loved by the whole family.
Step to the right! Jake saw the pictures and went from neutral to pro-life!
How many are saved when you inform a doctor? Macy is a Christian studying to be a medical professional in the Air Force. “I didn’t know abortion was like that!” she exclaimed.
Girl on FIRE! Tamica was threatened with abortion by doctors due to her mother’s difficult pregnancy. Her father demanded that they keep both patients alive! And today she is a vibrant young woman. At GAP she was a lioness, eating pro-aborts alive in a polite but very direct way.
She talked to a young man, Pablo, who was pro-choice, and she just wouldn’t put up with his false statements. She just spoke the truth with no apologies. She loves Jesus and life so much. She is a survivor.
One day this will end. “This will become illegal one day,” Hayden assured Joanna. “But it’ll be a battle. You’re fighting an uphill battle at 90 degrees. Better start rock climbing.”
The missing ones. Hayden told the story of his father who encountered a “spiritual” woman who told him that he had two other children. At first his father didn’t understand. But then he realized they they were his missing children aborted during past relationships. That revelation stays with him to this day and he still cries.
Silenced by truth. Joe, a male nursing student wearing scrubs rode his bike right into the middle of a crowd of our detractors and began telling them they were wrong about all of this. The pro-aborts gradually drifted away; they’d been silenced by truth.
Passion of the Christians. “I love your passion,” Ryan said before he prayed for Joanna and the entire GAP team.
Expanded coverage. Matt Sheldon of KBOI Talk Radio Boise devoted one hour of his prime time three-hour talk show to GAP. This radio coverage expanded our campus audience to thousands more. Our audience was made still larger by the many students who took photos of our display and posted them on social media.
