Wade<\/em> and just about any woman who might so much as think the word \u201cabortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her course, \u201cThe Politics of Reproduction: Sex, Abortion, and Motherhood,\u201d Middlebury College professor Carly Thomsen assigns a slew of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.middlebury.edu\/system\/files\/gsfs_0329_fall_2017_thomsen.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">biased course materials<\/a> that teach students about the supposedly \u201cdeceptive\u201d practices of life-affirming pregnancy help centers.<\/p>\n<p>The apparent intention of these diatribes? To ban pregnancy help centers from campus\u2014a feat Thomsen accomplished with other students at the University of California Santa Barbara in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>While at UCSB, Thomsen served as the \u201cproud Adviser to End Fake Clinics,\u201d a pro-abortion student organization which coordinated on-campus talks, film screenings, workshops, and flyers to promote abortion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/website-busts-myths-pregnancy-centers\/\">New website busts pro-abortion myths about pregnancy centers<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Writing at <a href=\"http:\/\/feministcampus.org\/are-you-down-with-cpcs-hell-no-not-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FeministCampus.org<\/a> in 2013, Thomsen said the group collected nearly 2,000 signatures in support of banning pregnancy help centers from advertising on campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir efforts resulted in a bill passed by the UCSB Associated Students\u2019 Legislative Council that restricts any group under the jurisdiction of the student government from advertising on behalf of crisis pregnancy centers,\u201d she wrote. \u201cUCSB is one of only a few schools to pass such a ban and is providing a model for other universities to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Thomsen is making sure of that.<\/p>\n<p>Now, her students at Middlebury College are following the UCSB blueprint, peddling a petition to ban the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County from campus. As of October 2018, the students had collected 240 signatures, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/middleburycampus.com\/40858\/opinion\/tell-crisis-pregnancy-center-stop-lying-to-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">op-ed<\/a> published in the school paper.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the pro-life center\u2019s involvement on campus is minimal. The organization has operated a booth at the school\u2019s student activities fair and shared some educational materials with the health center. But Joanie Praamsma, executive director of the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County, says she\u2019s hoping to reach more students as they continue to grow.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_194157\" style=\"width: 702px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-194157\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-194157\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pregnancy-resource-center-addison-county.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"692\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pregnancy-resource-center-addison-county.jpg 692w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pregnancy-resource-center-addison-county-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pregnancy-resource-center-addison-county-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-194157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Joanie Praamsma (via Pregnancy Help News)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And while the students\u2019 activities have not affected their current work, they could impede the center\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not really impacting what we\u2019re doing right now, other than\u2014we\u2019re not reaching the women that we\u2019re trying to reach,\u201d said Praamsma. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not going to help at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to share the truth about her work with the students, Praamsma contacted Thomsen, offering to do a Q &amp; A session in her class. Although it would have been the perfect opportunity for Thomsen and her students to expose Praamsma for her supposed \u201clies,\u201d Thomsen declined, indicating that she did not allow outside speakers into her classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Her course syllabus, which features two days in which outside speakers were invited, shows otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/states-continue-assault-pregnancy-centers\/\">Despite Supreme Court ruling, states continue assault on pregnancy centers<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The syllabus also offers a small glimpse into the kind of professor Thomsen says she is striving to be: One who advances \u201ccomplicated civil discussion,\u201d even if it challenges \u201cideologies that many of us hold dear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under a section on \u201ctrigger warnings,\u201d she says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Like many other critical feminist and queer studies scholars, I do not give trigger\u00a0warnings in my classes. I find the production of students as incapable of responding to\u00a0their own affective states to be dangerous. What is considered \u201ctriggering\u201d is constructed, and, furthermore, trigger warnings have been and continue to be deployed to shut down complicated civil discussion and related social action. Feeling affectively moved by material is not cause for concern, but, instead, might be an impetus for reflection, analysis, and action.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In other words, Thomsen welcomes intellectual challenges and opposes the notoriously sensitive overreactions that have been used to muzzle dissenters and inhibit dialogue on many college campuses. Yet when faced with the chance to present an alternative viewpoint to her students, she rejected it. When given the opportunity to foster civil discussion, she dismissed it.<\/p>\n<p>For Praamsma, who is trying to build bridges, the response was disheartening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely frustrating,\u201d she said. \u201cThey won\u2019t talk to me. They won\u2019t actually find out what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Praamsma\u2019s encounter with Thomsen isn\u2019t the first time she\u2019s attempted outreach to a local abortion advocate. In fact, last year, she tried to purchase a former Planned Parenthood outpost, finally bypassing the realtor to speak with the abortion provider directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018I&#8217;d like an opportunity to talk with you as a first step, because I looked at your mission statement online and looked at ours, and there shouldn&#8217;t be a reason you couldn&#8217;t sell to us,\u2019\u201d Praamsma <a href=\"https:\/\/pregnancyhelpnews.com\/middlebury-vt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> Pregnancy Help News last year. \u201cAnd they just said, \u2018We&#8217;re not selling to you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Praamsma found a way around them\u2014or rather, over them\u2014when the center ended up buying the space directly above the former Planned Parenthood office.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Praamsma has been incrementally increasing her center\u2019s presence in Middlebury. Now, they receive about 20 client visits each month. While the center does hope to reach women considering abortion, currently, its clientele is most interested in parenting support.<\/p>\n<p>As Praamsma strives to maintain her relationship with Middlebury College, she continues to seek opportunities to share the truth in her community. At a feminist film screening this fall, she bravely picked up an open mic to patiently introduce herself and explain her center\u2019s services\u2014right after the director of the Middlebury College Feminists\u2019 Resource Center finished bashing her organization\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/medical-pregnancy-centers-planned-parenthood\/\">Medical pregnancy centers fight lie that Planned Parenthood is about women\u2019s health<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the hostility Praamsma has faced, she is hopeful about her center\u2019s future. In November, she read a <a href=\"https:\/\/pregnancyhelpnews.com\/new-york-college-resists-pro-abortion-bullies-keeps-pregnancy-center-on-campus?highlight=WyJzdW55Il0=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">story<\/a> at Pregnancy Help News about a New York college\u2019s refusal to boot a fellow pregnancy help center from campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must remain viewpoint neutral and even handed when we make determinations [regarding guests],\u201d Mike Patterson, a spokesperson for SUNY New Paltz, told the school paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we had a Planned Parenthood, then it is only fair to have The Bravo Center,\u201d Patterson said. \u201cIt protects the interests of those students that might want this. That means you\u2019re going to have different viewpoints and ideologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patterson\u2019s perspective sounds an awful lot like the one Thomsen presented in her syllabus. The key difference, of course, is that Patterson put his words into action, allowing the local pregnancy center to stay.<\/p>\n<p>If Middlebury College is unafraid of differing viewpoints and truly concerned about the interests of women, it will do the same.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was published at <a href=\"https:\/\/pregnancyhelpnews.com\/commentary\/item\/1611-feminist-professor-leads-charge-to-ban-pro-life-pregnancy-center-from-college-campus\">Pregnancy Help News<\/a> and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Pregnancy Help News) Most of the women who visit the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County in Middlebury, Vermont, are not looking for abortions.\u00a0Instead, they\u2019re seeking pregnancy tests, parenting support, and material help.\u00a0But a feminist studies course at a local college is leading students to believe this center is waging a full-scale war on Roe [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":420,"featured_media":191320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[2793,7077],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Feminist prof fights to ban pro-life pregnancy center from college campus<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A college prof is leading students to believe their local pregnancy center is waging a full-scale war on Roe v.
