Marquette feminists condemn Church's 'oppressive' pro-life stance
Campus Reform ^ | October 17, 2016 | Anthony Gockowski

Marquette’s feminism club has now publicly condemned Thursday’s pro-life display at the Catholic institution as “damaging to the mental health of students” and an act of “public shaming.”

The “Marquette Empowerment” student group—which “strives to maintain an environment in which each individual opinion is valued”—slammed the pro-life display as a means of “stigmatizing abortion” in a letter Sunday, though the statement also offered a half hearted condemnation of students who vandalized the display with pro-abortion literature.

As a FYI, Marquette claims it is a Catholic university. So I guess someone reading the Catholic Cathecism or the Bible out loud at a supposedly Catholic university would be "damaging to the mental health of students".

I have seen the statue of Father Marquette looking over lake Superior or was it lake Michigan....so long ago I do not remember.

Went to the Upper Peninusla of MI in the 80s,

Anyway Father Marquette would not approve of these Gals....

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to “stigmatize” the slaughter of unborn innocents. Who do we think we are???

Every day I get even more disgusted with the evil people who defend killing precious babies in the womb. It’s a way of thinking that comes straight from the pit of hell.

As an alumni of Marquette, who changed name for Warriors (American Indian) to Golden Eagles, should be changed to Turkeys. Seems all Jesuit colleges have gone liberal Globalist institutions.

No stigmatization of murder.

Try this solution from another college: offer ‘alternative activities’ complete with free bus tickets...to be one-way trips to a community center in small towns in the middle of nowhere. And when they finally make it back to campus they can find some colorfully-worded notices on their dorm room doors inviting them to vacate the premises and their possessions in the dumpster.

It may be worth mentioning that this was pulled off not by staff but by other students who were utterly fed up with the little harlots.
