WorldMag: Evangelical school refuses pro-life display on campus
Here’s a story in World Magazine about CBR’s very own Seth Gruber at Westmont College. Seth is a student at Westmont College and an intern at CBR.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees the activists the right to set up the [Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) abortion photo] billboards at public schools. But almost every private Christian college has turned them down.

Gruber’s had more conversations about abortion in the last 10 days than he had in the last two and a half years. And more people have offered to stand with him.

Student defies “Christian” college, shows pictures of abortion
CBR intern Seth Gruber is now officially our new hero at FAB.
For 3 years, Seth had petitioned to bring the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) to Westmont College a “Christian” college in Santa Barbara, California, where he is a student. For 3 years, they said “No.”
Finally, Seth took matters into his own hands and brought some hand-held abortion photos to campus and put them on display. He and fellow pro-lifers Todd Bullis and Timothy Eaton took a position right outside the dining hall.
Two college officials tried to shut them down. They were successful in throwing Todd and Timothy off campus, but not Seth, because he is a student. Here is video of one student whose heart was converted when seeing the graphic photos and part of the exchange with the college officials:
Here is a link to Seth’s account of the experience. Stay tuned for more updates.
