UPDATE: More proof that more college students support post-birth abortion
college fix ^ | January 8, 2015 | Mairead McArdle

A College Fix article that went viral last fall drew attention to an emerging inclination among young people: pro-life activists who engage college students on campuses across the country are seeing support for so-called “post-birth abortion,” or the killing of infants and young children.

It was a report so shocking, many did not want to believe it.

In response to the article – shared on social media nearly 50,000 times and sparking a national dialogue – Snopes.com attempted to debunk the claim by complaining the piece spun anecdotal evidence into a “study.” Students for Life also published a piece saying they did not think the trend was real.

However, the article explicitly stated its evidence is anecdotal, based on the many experiences of pro-life activists with Created Equal and Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, whose members show up at college campuses weekly and engage young people in serious conversations about abortion.

Although no official study or poll has been conducted on this issue, Mark Harrington, director of Created Equal, and Kristina Garza, director of campus outreach for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, speak with college students about abortion on a regular basis and find that more young people than ever before are willing to admit they support post-birth abortion.

In response to those who questioned the experiences of these pro-life campus advocates, The College Fix returned to the groups’ leaders to get their take on the notion that it was all too outlandish to believe.

In recent interviews, they not only stood behind their assessment, but provided further details to their original claims to help prove it.

Ask them if post-birth abortion can include children up to, and including, college-age.

Never mind that, how about up to say 15?

Really though most kids would not make it past terrible twos.

These young adults are just doing what they are trained to do.

This has been 16 years of training.

You know I was wondering where they learned this crap. I know I would have never felt this way in college. Heaven only knows I did stupid things in college too. This? This is off the mark.

I asked my mom, once about just such a thing: “ how late do you think a mother should be able to abort”

She just fixed me with a steely gaze and said “junior. Maybe Senior in your case”.

Won't be long till someone uses something like this as a defense for murder.

"You can't convict my client of murder, only of practicing medicine without a license as they merely performed a VERY late term abortion."

/sarcasm

As they have made a liberal-progressive government their adopted parents, it should come as no surprise to them that these parents chose to abort them when they become to burdensome to support.
