(Stand to Reason<\/a>) One thing that convinces me that the pro-life position is true is, interestingly enough, the behavior of pro-choicers. Obviously, pro-lifers believe that abortion takes the lives of \u201cprecious unborn human persons<\/a>.\u201d But ironically, the behavior of pro-choicers also<\/em> reveals that, deep down, they also believe abortion takes the lives of innocent human persons.<\/p>\n

\n

A recurring pattern that emerges in interactions with pro-choicers is how they are unwilling to engage the arguments of pro-lifers. They instead seek to silence, censor, and shout down pro-life evidence. And on the occasions where they cannot ignore pro-life evidence, where they are forced to respond, their words and actions betray the deep internal insecurities that reveal what they really<\/em> think abortion is and does.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like the pro-choice advocates know they cannot win a fair debate on the issue and instead must use sheer power to \u201csuppress the truth in unrighteousness.\u201d Witness how there are so few (if any) formal debates between spokespeople from each side on college campuses today. It\u2019s not for lack of trying, though. Pro-life campus groups are always willing to host and sponsor formal debates in the university setting. But pro-choice groups usually demure and decline the invitation to debate, opting instead to pronounce the matter settled.<\/p>\n

This has forced pro-lifers to use alternative methods to present their ideas on campus; and it has forced pro-choicers to use alternative methods in responding, as well.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a recent case in point.<\/p>\n

Last week, the pro-life organization Created Equal set up a display at Georgia State University (Atlanta, GA). The public university relegated Created Equal\u2019s displays to the free speech area on campus between certain hours of the day. (One would think the entirety of a taxpayer-supported university campus would have First Amendment free speech protections at all times, but that\u2019s another issue for another time and place).<\/p>\n

According to Created Equal, before they arrived on campus, the GSU administration sent out a campus-wide email<\/a> to its students. The email, released by local newspaper The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), revealed<\/a> that GSU was \u201cnot excited about the upcoming appearance\u201d of the pro-lifers, and explained why GSU \u201cwould allow speech that is hateful or mean-spirited\u201d on GSU campus.<\/p>\n
