Where do we get all these loony professors?
A group puts up an anti-abortion display at the State University of New York at Buffalo campus and a pro-abortion professor pulls out the F-bomb-repeatedly. Eventually, she is arrested for disorderly conduct.

A valuable lesson for anyone who gets involved in campus disagreements-and I have. Watch your language, and when the campus cops tell you to cease and desist-even if they are wrong, follow their orders. Now professor Laura Curry has learned her lesson the hard way.
According to the article, Curry thought it was obscene to display photos of aborted fetuses.
But not obscene to abort said fetuses. Such is the logic that reigns supreme on our college campuses.
Maybe Professor Curry and her colleagues should check out the on-going trial of this Philadelphia abortion doctor:

Now that's obscene.
* Here is an update from Todd Starnes of Fox News. More professors are reacting hysterically to the display-comparing the pro-life students to a "lynch mob".

"Yee gads!"
It is obscene to display photos of aborted fetuses, for the same reason it is obscene to display photos of female genitalia, and in a sense obscene to display photos of rotting carcases outside a cafeteria, or photos of dissected angle worms, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis professor, however, probably had other motivations, and she's wrong.
I'm constitutionally pro-choice, but I support the right of people with pro-life views to exercise their freedom of speech in the public square. I even think it would be a good thing if they can reach all the women considering abortion who would later regret it. There are more than a few, and if the pro-lifers reach them, they won't have one. Women who are confident of what they are doing may choose to ignore the pro-life crowd, which is their right.
I only have an argument with the pro-life crowd when they advocate restoration of criminal penalties.
