A few days later the students discovered that their pro-life display had been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Right to Life placed 260 crosses in the grass beside the Student Union Plaza. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenortherner.com\/news\/2016\/10\/30\/pro-life-display-campus-vandalized\/\">According to the student newspaper, The Northerner<\/a>, members of the pro-life group were shocked to find that &#8220;[d]ays after Knox stuck the crosses into the grass beside the Student Union Plaza, someone pulled the crosses out of the ground and tore the sign that read, &#8216;Each cross represents 10 babies that die by abortion each day.'&#8221; A similar incident happened to the group after they set up a cross display on campus in 2013. Student Hannah Jackson posted this status\u00a0on Twitter:<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Before&#8230;After <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nkuedu\">@nkuedu<\/a> are you going to do anything about this? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JshVJP9SAQ\">pic.twitter.com\/JshVJP9SAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; therealhannahjackson (@han__ban) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/han__ban\/status\/791841721390927872\">October 28, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Freshman student Michael Bailey,\u00a0upon discovering that the display had been vandalized, tried to fix it\u00a0as best as he could because \u201cit felt like the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Northerner also detailed students&#8217; reactions. Some, like Knox, observed\u00a0that some\u00a0advocate for tolerance but aren&#8217;t willing to extend that tolerance to those who publicly express pro-life beliefs. Knox also said\u00a0she felt that both she\u00a0and the display set up by the students were disrespected. The Northerner also noted:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople always talk about, \u2018Please respect other people\u2019s beliefs,\u2019 and I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s scary,\u201d Knox said. \u201cClearly [they] do not respect others\u2019 beliefs by vandalizing property. I was taken aback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instances of vandalism against pro-life displays, especially on college campuses, seem to be on the rise.

Counter-protesters were quick to disrupt the pro-lifers, throwing pro-life materials to the ground and even harassing the pro-life students.<\/p>\n<p>The vandalism of peaceful pro-life displays contradicts abortion advocates&#8217; claim that they are in favor of \u00a0\u201cchoice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, October 26, Cecilia Knox, vice president of Northern Right to Life and students in her pro-life club set up a display of crosses at Northern Kentucky University as a memory to preborn children who were never given the chance to live.
