I'm anti abortion, and a student at the U of C myself. But I'm not a member of the Pro-Life group. Overall, I support the message of the group, but I think the delivery was a bit brash- the display could have been placed in a room or something.

Also, I'm kind of unsettled by the abortion/genocide analogy. One could say that killing is killing, but genocide is a different context.

I can't really put accurate words to why that analogy doesn't quite work for me. Just a feeling.

Overall though, I am quite pro-life.

No one got roughed up or anything yesterday. There were tons of security around, and one pro-choice guy who liked to scream "You don't have a right to live!" (How ironic, idiot). The display was still up today, but I wasn't around it, I was in class.

Once the screaming, argumentative people on both sides got out of the way, I found I was able to have quite a few calm, civilized discussions and debates with others. Once the drama stopped, it was good.
