'We are disrupting this talk. We’re not letting you spread your harmful rhetoric against people with uteruses [sic]…. We are not allowing this to happen on our campus.'
EDINBURGH (LifeSiteNews) – A group of pro-abortion demonstrators interrupted a pro-life lecture at Edinburgh University last night, effectively silencing the woman presenter and taking control of the meeting.
“Stop this talk right now,” shouted a North American woman through a megaphone. “We are disrupting this talk. We’re not letting you spread your harmful rhetoric against people with uteruses [sic]…. We are not allowing this to happen on our campus.”
Margaret Akers of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) Scotland had been invited by the university’s Life Society to give a talk on campus at 7 PM, October 17. The title of Akers’ talk was “My body, my choice? The role pressure and coercion play in the decision to have an abortion.”
A small group of sympathetic listeners and a larger group of pro-abortion students holding banners gathered in a classroom and listened to Akers’ lecture for about 9 minutes before the megaphone-wielding woman and her sign-carrying companions burst into the room. By the time everyone was inside, the abortion supporters had lined two sides of the room, taken seats on a third, and were effectively blocking the room’s only exit.
“This is not about freedom of speech,” said the woman with the megaphone. “This is spreading harmful misinformation that is actively harming people with uteruses [sic] today. This is not freedom of speech.”
Sophia Tait, the president of the Life Society, asked those who did not want to listen to Akers’ talk to leave and promised that those who listened would be able to take part in a conversation at the end.

Classic "Framing the Narrative" tactic!
"This is not about us carjacking you and gang-raping you and your wife! This is about deconstructing 'White Supremacy' and demanding accountability for past [300 years ago] injustices!"

Who else would pray outside an abortion clinic?
