Vandalism of Cross-Shaped Pro-Life Display at Catholic University Caught on Video

A cross-shaped display of flags commemorating the lives lost in abortion was targeted by vandals at Saint Louis University, a Jesuit school, soon after it was set up on campus Monday morning.

The university’s pro-life group, a Students for Life chapter, set up hundreds of small flags in the shape of a cross. Each flag represented over 800 abortions performed last year in the U.S. The group had received the Missouri university’s permission for the display, which they call the Cemetery of the Innocent.

“Within a few hours of it going up, we walked by and someone had torn down the signs we had up alongside it,” Isabelle Hotard, President of Students for Life at St. Louis University, told the CBS affiliate KMOV News.

Another group member found two young women students apparently vandalizing the display and videoed them on his phone. They appeared to tear flags from the cross-shaped display and stomped them into the ground.

The women insulted the group member, contended the display was anti-woman and shamed women for having abortions. It could hurt the feelings of a woman who had had an abortion, one woman said.

Another student tried to say the display would help reach out to those women.

Those two girls should be prosecuted, otherwise nothing changes. They certainly won’t feel any shame for their property destruction. You can’t play nice with such people who want to silence any opposition and expect you to simply accept their rudeness with a patient smile.

Smug, self-righteous, selfish, stupid. Perfect exemplars of modern education

My neighbor dispatches vermin with a sling shot. Just a thought.
