Mixed Nuts at Murray State University

“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.

Pro-Life On Campus at Murray State University

CBR volunteer Brian McKinney teaches young men to step up and protect the innocent.

Pro-Life on Campus brought GAP back to Murray State University in Kentucky after a long absence.  Not many moonbats in that part of Kentucky; we give it a rating of 1 moonbat on our scale of 1 to 10.

Throughout the calm two days, there was only one protester with a “clever” sign that read, “Abortion is fine, but condoms are less expensive and homosexuality is a fine choice too!” However, he was notably respectful and had honest questions about God, the Bible, and politics. Unfortunately, though, he was unable to maintain a thought to its completion, so rational dialogue was difficult.

His inability to complete thoughts (and perhaps think critically) may have lead to these statements he made to the Murray State News:

“I walked by and saw it and I despise the flawed reasoning that is used on these signs … I believe that their imagery especially is deceptive.  It’s an attempted emotional appeal.  People are allowed to believe what they want, I don’t think I’m changing people’s minds,” he said said. “The most I’ve done is that I’ve gave out a bunch of condoms.  So, hey, I might’ve just kept a baby from being aborted, which is more than what these people have been doing all day.”

These would be laughable, except for his encouragement of irresponsible, child-like adults to engage in high-risk behavior.
