The “antifa” are, in fact, the “fa” (fascists) at Portland State.

The “antifa” were out to get us at Portland State University, but the police presence dissuaded personal violence.  They did, however, splash paint on one of our signs (which we cleaned up in just a few minutes).

Still, there were also expressions of support to encourage us.

Leftist “tolerance.”  Leftist pro-abort: “We should abort Christians.”  (Joanna: “Do you want to kill us now?”)  “Well, there are police around, so I can’t really answer that.”

Another peace-loving leftist said, “If the police weren’t here, I would knock you unconscious.”

He gets it.  “It’s a selfish decision. Thank you guys so much did what you’re doing. This is so important for people to hear.”

Demonic. “Do you believe in God?  Do you believe in magic?”  the girls said at they threw demonic dust at us.  “Curses for you,” one said.  Thankfully, throwing things at people is a crime, so the police quickly intervened.

They chose life, not death.  David and his girlfriend considered abortion, but Christian friends encouraged them not to, so they kept their baby boy Rowan.  And they got married!  David is still in school, and the happy couple are expecting a second baby!

See you in hell!  “Do you believe in hell?” said another disciple of tolerance and diversity.  (Joanna:  “Yes.”)  He snarled, “You’re gonna burn in it.”

A victor, not a victim.  A young woman who had been sexually abused spoke her mind. “They love victims here, and they love to keep you a victim.”  When she decided to move past her victim status, they no longer had any use for her.

Join the $quad!  A young man walked up and handed us $100.  “This is a good cause,” he said.  Do you agree?  Click here to join his effort to $upport us.

He was a mature adult with a wife and a new baby.  He had a much firmer grasp of reality than his younger fellow students.

Man oh man, check out the nuts at Salt Lake Community College!  But with all the weirdo comments, there were several beautiful gems.

A grandchild’s life in the balance.  A middle-aged woman was taking pictures of our signs so she could show them to her pregnant 18-year-old daughter, Brittany.  She was worried, because her daughter had told her, “I could just get an abortion.”

This mother believed her daughter needed some encouragement and she was so happy we were there to provide evidence she could use to save her grandchild’s life.

Unwanted.  The pro-aborts insisted that it is best to kill the disabled, because no one wants them.  Hearing this, Dana teared up and told us that her late brother Alex had Down syndrome.  That day would have been his 17th birthday.  She missed her brother and wanted him back.

Black genocide.  In response to black abortion statistics a husband and father said, “Think about how that would have changed the demographic in the United States! … You’re looking at far more than 20 million people. … It’s a form of genocide for the black community.”

Accountability.  A young woman standing in the midst of the the nut job group asked a thoughtful question.  “When does accountability come in?  When does a person have to say, “I messed up and I have to take responsibility for my actions?”

Another young woman replied, “We don’t have education.”

“But that too is an excuse. When should we be held accountable for our actions?”  Her calm, quiet words disarmed the group and they didn’t have much of an argument for her.

Freedom of speech for all.  A Hispanic young man spoke with CBR’s Jackie Hawkins, “They told you to go away?  They want to take away your freedom of speech?  There’s a sign over there that says, ‘We don’t need another white man to tell us what to do with our bodies.’  What about me, a Mexican?  What about a woman or a black person?  To me it makes no sense at all.  I appreciate you guys expressing what you believe in.”

It makes sense.  A red haired young man said to the pro-abortion group, “I used to be with you guys, but I talked to them and it makes sense.”

Heard in passing.

• “It’s just so powerful. There’s really no argument that you can make after seeing this.”  (female student)
• “I totally agree with you.” (female student)
• “I’m glad you guys are doing this.” (female student)

Who’s your boss?  At the end of the day, a maintenance worker popped out of her utility buggy and called out the pro-aborts, “You guys think these guys are racist?!  Do you know the roots of Planned Parenthood?  Planned Parenthood is racist!”

The compassionate, caring, tolerant crowd were enraged.  “Are you on the clock?  Who do you work for?  We can get you fired!”

“I don’t care,” she shot back.  “You can’t fire me, I’m working for the Lord!”

Amen.  So do we.  And as long as both the Lord and you are willing, we will keep winning hearts, changing minds, and saving lives!  But you have to be willing.  Please support our work or we have to stay home.

Thank you.  Please keep praying.

Newbie staff member Mik’aela Raymond went on her first GAP tour the Spring of 2018. She did great!

In the Spring semester, we focused our GAP efforts on North Carolina and Tennessee.  We traveled to Appalachian State, the University of Tennessee, Tennessee Tech, UNC Charlotte, and UNC Greensboro.

North Carolina is especially important, because it is one of the most important swing states in our region.

These are all schools we have visited before, but once every year or two is not too often.  New students come and go, so we always get a new audience.  Also, even when we get repeat customers, they often say that we move the needle on their opinions with each visit.

With your $upport, we will get abortion photos on every campus, every year.  With that much exposure to reality, it will be almost impossible for pro-abortion professors to lie to our students any longer.

Brandon, the perennial graduate student, comes to every GAP.  This time, he brought his friend, Aaron, whose main sticking point was that we are calling aborting women Nazis, despite our prominent declaration to the contrary.

Joanna explained to him why that wasn’t the case, but he stuck to his guns, seeing himself as a champion for women.

Overhearing him, Alice walked up.  She was the epitome of cool.  She had long messy hair and a cigarette in hand.  “I have had an abortion.  I have 2 kids now.  I don’t see anything calling me a Nazi.”

Oh but she was wrong!  Her poor woman brain couldn’t understand!  And so Aaron proceeded to mansplain to her that GAP was calling her a Nazi and she should be offended.

Alice was unfazed.  Puffing on her cigarette, she calmly spoke in a soft voice, explaining to Andrew that she was not being called a Nazi and therefore had nothing to be offended about.  Her calm and cool demeanor diffused the situation and Aaron was forced to go mansplain to someone else.

GAP is like a box if chocolates.  Ya neva know watt yore gonna gay-yet.

“I believe life is the greatest gift,” Salvador told Jackie Hawkins.

There were several gems at Weber State, where we saw a good response to the pictures.  Even the pro-abortion protesters had to admit that their point of view may not have been correct.

Something to think about.  Parker was all over the place, at first.  He guessed that life started when the child first breathes (at birth) or when the heartbeat could be detected (at three weeks gestation).  But after seeing the photos and speaking with Joanna Keilson, he admitted, “You definitely made me think about something today.”

Maybe not today, but maybe in 5 years.  “I appreciate the civil dialogue. You haven’t changed my mind today or tomorrow, but maybe in 5 years,” a protester said with tears in her eyes.

I guess maybe that is what it is…  “My uterus is not an incubator!” the female protester exclaimed.  To that, Pastor Don Blythe asked her, “What is your uterus?”  She didn’t know what to say.  Her friends wanted to answer, but Pastor Don only wanted to hear from her.  She mumbled, “Well if you want to have a baby…OK, it is a kind of incubator.”

What if it happened to you?  A police officer said to Anna, “You know what I always want to say to these kids?  What if your mom had done that to you?”

Powerful indeed.  Pastor Don said of GAP, “This is a powerful ministry.  There’s just no doubt about it.”

The greatest gift.  The wonderful student Salvador was very pro-life and thanked us for being there.  “I believe life is the greatest gift.”

Not often heard.  “I was sexually assaulted when I was 11,” she told Maggie Egger.  “Why should I have to keep a pregnancy that could kill me?” Maggie told her, “I am so sorry that happened to you. I would say if a woman or a girl has a pregnancy that is life threatening and all other treatments have been considered, we can’t require her to be a martyr.”  And she replied, “Thank you. I haven’t heard that from many people.”  By the end of their conversation the young woman insisted that there be more support for pregnant women.  To that Maggie agreed wholeheartedly.

Planned Parenthood protesters included a female “minister” in a Roman collar and a young woman who thanked us for being there to express our opinion.

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!

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.

Fascists tried to shut us down at the U of Oregon.  Some wore masks but most wore camouflage, i.e., regular (non-brown) shirts in an attempt to look like law-abiding Americans. The Administration sided with the fascists until they realized we would sue and win, just like we did at the U of Buffalo.  Game.  Set.  Match.

CBR took our GAP show on the road to the upper left-hand corner of the United States.  And boy was it ever left!

Here is the first of a series of reports.  The 7 schools we tackled:

• Boise State University in Idaho—6 out of 10 moonbats on our scale of craziness.
• Weber State University in Utah—4 moonbats
• Salt Lake Community College in Utah—5 moonbats
• Lane Community College in Oregon—7 moonbats
• The Evergreen State College in Washington State—7 moonbats
• Portland State University in Oregon—9 moonbats
• University of Oregon in Oregon—7 moonbats

There is a frenzied “blizzard” going on, even today, throughout the Pacific Northwest.  Snowflakes are everywhere!  Men in drag.  Fascists hiding behind masks.  Objects hurled at us from all directions — bloody tampons, seafoam green paint, and water bottles.  A man with a large knife cut up one of our warning signs.

But as William Wilberforce said, they can never again say they did not know.

Throughout this trip, we displayed several of our ALL Black Lives Matter (ABLM) signs and challenged pro-aborts to defend their vicious attack on the African American family.

“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.

Even sleepy schools like ETSU are a hotbed of oppressive leftist ideology. GAP confronts this private liberal club in a powerful way … as unique as it is effective.

The hostility of the Academy toward the Citizenry is omnipresent, as we saw at East Tennessee State (ETSU), where tax-funded employees routinely condemn Christian and conservative students for their beliefs and values.

With indisputable facts and unassailable arguments, GAP is a fantastic way to help students wage ideological warfare.  We demonstrate how Christians and conservatives can engage professors and their heavily propagandized classmates with courage and grace.

Dumb blonde.  Diana, a pre-med student, told us that the pressure to conform to leftist ideology is oppressive.  Her “ethics” professor makes fun of her intelligence and her blonde hair.  Note: Only leftist professors may disparage women as dumb blondes.

Pro-choice?  This professor says a doctor shouldn’t be allowed to let his beliefs interfere with his “services.”  In other words, Diana should be forced to perform abortions or lose her license.  How is that “pro-choice”?

An unexpected friend.  GAP works on many levels.  We of course expose abortion as a horrifying act of violence.  But at the same time, we advance the cause of free speech.  Moreover, we demonstrate how people on both sides of a contentious debate can respectfully advance their arguments.  After speaking with CBR’s Jane Bullington, Noah wrote on his Facebook page:

The conversation was based on mutual respect …  We were able to actually “hear” what the other one had to say.  My concerns were focused mostly on pro-life people not favoring programs that would make life easier for the born people and their apparent vilification of women who have made this tough decision.  Jane talked about the devaluation of human life leading to increased violence and selfishness in our country.  She also said we may want the same “ends” for born people, but have different strategies for arriving at that goal.  Did we come to the same conclusion?  Do I approve of CBR or their tactics?  No on both counts.  But I made a friend and have a greater appreciation for civil discourse.  I am guilty of abrasively engaging in debate and speaking without listening.  Today was different and refreshing.  So, come talk to these folks rather than yell at them.  And I even went back to get a picture with my new pro-life friend.

Thank you for your support!  Only through your prayers and financial investment can we take this message where it most needs to go.

“The deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery…” Gal. 5:19-20a “… because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.” Rev. 18:11

On Day 2 at Western Kentucky University, a female student set up her own table near the GAP display. She was wearing a black robe; she had black hair, black nail polish, black lipstick, and red contact lenses. She set out a good bit of witchcraft paraphernalia on her table and began to cast spells over us. Debbie and CBR volunteer Laurice Baddour began to pray, asking God to keep the GAP team and the campus community protected; they prayed fervently against the kingdom of darkness. Laurice describes what happened next:

I asked for prayer, then I walked over to the table, introduced myself, shared my faith, and asked her and her two friends some questions about their spiritual lives. They were incredibly open — the two with her were atheists. I began to share the great power and love of God for them, but that their sin is separating them from Him, yet He is calling them to repentance and a relationship with Him. I shared the gospel three times with them, each time going deeper.

Amazingly, this lengthy conversation about salvation with a witch and two atheists was one of the most peaceful I have ever had! I had expected great trouble, but instead experienced engagement at such a deep, meaningful level, with no interruptions. Their hearts were so open to listen! I knew that God was doing a great work, and that team members were praying for us. I urged the students to respond to God, made myself available to talk again anytime that afternoon, and hugged them all before leaving their table.

Are you a Christian leader? Are you really sure that abortion is just a political issue? The witches don’t think so. Abortion is a battle of good and evil. Souls are at stake. GAP is not only an opportunity to save lives and fight the culture of death, it is an opportunity to share the Gospel with those who need it most.

CBRs John Stair reaches out to witch at WKU.

CBR’s Joanna confronts hypocrisy with a gentle but firm directness. Exposing the deeds of darkness is the most loving thing one can do.

Our recent trip to Western Kentucky University (WKU) was our second visit, having been at WKU two years before that.

Changing minds and winning hearts.  We had no sooner set up at when Allison walked up and let us know that she had been pro-abortion when we had visited in 2015. She saw the pictures and spoke with CBR volunteer Gene Garrett. She even rode in our Truth Truck and heard the Gospel. After we left, she did more research. As a result of all of this, she changed. She is now pro-life.

“There is none so blind as he who will not see.”  That’s what the great philosopher Ray Stevens said.  Paul went a little further.  He wrote, “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see …” (2 Corinthians 4:4)  Zach, a 27-year-old student lamented, “They accuse you guys of talking in circles, but they go in circles and ask you to follow.  They have one-dimensional arguments.  If you ask “Why?” all they can say is “Because.”  I am a believer and outspoken in class.  I try to get people to move deeper on their stance, but these folks cannot.”

Hypocrisy.  Men can’t speak, except for when they can.  One guy was holding a sign, “Men can’t speak on women’s rights.”  Apparently, his buddy is excepted.  His sign said, “I love abortion.”

Hiding.  ABC-13 WBKO ran a story “covering” our Truth Truck driving around town.  They said they had received a photo of our GAP display from a student, but it was “too graphic” to show.  But why is it “too graphic” to show?  Because abortion is an act of violence, and the pro-abort media do not want people to see the truth.

Healing.  Debbie Picarello of Deeper Still, a post-abortion ministry which partners with CBR, set up a table next to GAP.  She ministered to students who had already been involved in abortion. One student took materials for himself and his former girlfriend — she aborted his child against his will.  An older pro-life man told Debbie that he was post-abortive and shared his story with her. Debbie explained that Deeper Still is available for men as well as for women. A female student thanked her for being on campus and commended her for being “brave”.

Compassion.  Matthew announced that he would meet with the Counseling Center after GAP to discuss ways they might help those hurting after abortions.
