"I don't like the idea of it at all," said Ashley Holmgren, 19, a freshman from Bergen County, N.J., who supports abortion rights. "Having to pass that every day - I just don't think that's right."

Why don't you ask the 50 million infants who have been slaughtered since 1973 how they feel about it.

Another freshman, Katie Dowd, 19, worries the statue would prevent some students from attending Villanova if their values don't exactly match those of the school.

That should be a goal not a problem.

Good for them.

Will make Villanova attractive to decent kids who don't want to be bombarded with the propaganda avalanche from the Death Cult professors at virtually every other school.

Wow. Good for them. They've come a long way from trying to have a memorial to a baby-killer last year!

I can be proud of my alma mater!

Some students, however, said the statue would be taking the school's religious values too far.

"I don't like the idea of it at all," said Ashley Holmgren, 19, a freshman from Bergen County, N.J., who supports abortion rights. "Having to pass that every day - I just don't think that's right."

Another freshman, Katie Dowd, 19, worries the statue would prevent some students from attending Villanova if their values don't exactly match those of the school.

"I think it would reflect poorly on the university," said Dowd, of Lancaster. "I think it would definitely appear unwelcoming to students who aren't Catholic or don't believe that."

How cute (in a sick way) that some students think that really believing in something is taking it too far.

I guess that those who would feel uncomfortable about seeing the display on a daily basis would be really mortified to know that God put the feeling of shame in us to help us know when we are on the wrong path....

That's good news but I would dispute that Villanova is a conservative religious institution. It has a history of straying from Catholic teaching.

45 million American children murdered since 1973. An entire generation was slaughtered. A small memorial is appropriate.
