I got the chance to help them in their dialogue with students when they visited De Anza College in April.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after setting up the abortion displays, two students arrived, holding signs like: \u201cIf you can force women to give birth, we can force you to have a vasectomy.\u201d Puzzled, my friend Steve and I decided to investigate.Their main argument was that among those involved in the Project Truth display, seven of us were men and only two were women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because I\u2019m a man, and I can\u2019t have an abortion, doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t say it\u2019s wrong.\u201d I said. \u201cFor instance, I am not a mugger, I\u2019ve never been mugged, and I don\u2019t know someone who has been mugged. Just because it hasn\u2019t happened to me doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not allowed to say it\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not our argument.\u201d was the response the two students kept giving me.<\/p>\n<p>When I started speaking about how just because a child is conceived in rape, that does not make him invaluable, the girl said, \u201cSorry, but if you haven\u2019t noticed, I\u2019m not talking to you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the second day, one student called her mother to come see what we were doing. Her mother worked at the Planned Parenthood on The Alameda in San Jose.<\/p>\n<p>While I was speaking to a group of people, she jumped in and decided to expose me for the terrible person I really am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on! Let me ask you one question: Is your goal to defund Planned Parenthood?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would be very happy to see that happen, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere you have it!\u201d She shouted to the group, \u201cThis man wants to take away women\u2019s access to safe abortions, access to birth control, mammograms-\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMammograms?\u201d I asked her. \u201cYou obviously haven\u2019t seen Live Action\u2019s new videos have you? Live Action made a compilation of recorded phone calls which proves that Planned Parenthood does not even perform mammograms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By then a crowd of people gathered insisting that Planned Parenthood helps a lot of people and that a lot of people would \u201cdie\u201d if Planned Parenthood lost their funding.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, right as the debates were getting good, the campus administration showed up just in time to pressure students to \u201cend dialogue\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage anyone who is capable of calmly sharing the pro-life message to college students to join Live Action and other pro-life campus outreaches at a school near you. You will learn a lot from your experiences, and it will help better your skills at discussing and debating the topic of abortion, and the truth that it kills children.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Barrera, 15<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, thousands of students from across the country participate in pro-life displays on their campuses.
