Is it? Here's my understanding of the situation and anyone more versed in law and the finer points of this story can correct me:
1) The pro-life group was essentially given a choice - take down or turn around the signs that are causing a disturbance or the university is asking you to leave
2) The pro-life group ignored the warning
3) They were asked to leave campus
4) They refused - this is now legally considered trespassing
5) They were charged with trespassing
Now - how is this illegal? Maybe I missed some of the story.
