Pro-Life students at the University of Buffalo came under fierce attack by a group of professors who compared them to a lynch mob. At least one professor was arrested after she launched a profanity-laced tirade directed toward the students.

The professors were outraged after the Students for Life club received permission to display a pro-life exhibit that included graphic images of abortion victims along with Holocaust victims and victims of lynching.

A half dozen history professors condemned the display in a letter to the student newspaper.

“Anti-abortion protesters appear to have a lot in common with those who supported lynching,” they wrote in the school paper. “We feel it is imperative to speak out against this crass, uninformed and dangerous misuse of history.”

When I worked at a pro-life women's center I ran into some information put out by the Guttmacher Institute.

They did research on what percentage of women could be easily talked into an abortion.

They found that 10% would get an abortion regardless of whether it was legal or not.

Ninety percent hesitated and had to be talked into having an abortion, so they devised tactics to make that 90% comply.

The center I worked at concentrated on that 90% who "had to be talked into an abortion," and we helped them to bring their baby into the world.

My point is that most women are essentially horse-collared into getting the procedure through a sales job and intimidation at a time when a woman should not make any huge decisions.

The Sarah Weddington's of the world are part of that 10% who would get an abortion no matter what.

Which leaves the vast 90% at the mercy of men like Kermitt Gosnell.

I have searched the Guttmacher website for their research about the 10%-90% and there is no trace of it.

I’d say those professors are a lynch mob.

The studeents should sue the the professors for defamation of character. The students are not public figures and are therefore able to pursue such a remedy. There is NO reasonable connection between opposing abortion and supporting lynching of racial minorities.

IF THE UNBORN WERE ARMED THERE WOULD BE NO ABORTIONS

One can only hope that she sees the harm she has done before she reaches that end. She and her husband once gave me a ride back to Simkins dorm from Scholz’s way back when. They, a friend and were talking politics—about the war— for a short while. I had forgotten their name until much later when my friend reminded me. They and a colleague of his were sitting with them when I had sat down. My friend said they had thought me strange. Which I was—and am,but I remember nothing about my conversation with them.
