Hat tip Campus Reform
Diana Jimenez is a student at Biola College in LA, a Christian College where many future Christian clergy get their higher education. So when she decided to demonstrate on campus with a poster showing a bloody fetus, that's when the head of security, a guy named John Ojeisekhoba stepped in. Campus Reform has the story and the video of the encounter. Watch as this heavy threatens the girl.

Kudos to Diana and a big Bronx cheer to that bully who treated her in such a shameful manner.

"Law and order" is just fine until someone you want to root for is on the losing end, eh Gary?
This is the most contrived piece of nonsense ever. There is NOTHING remotely resembling violence. The officers firmly but gently removed the sign and confiscated it. The campus IS private property, so the many constitutional safeguards which WOULD apply on a public campus don't. Generally, "conservatives" approve of that, don't you?
I don't know why a professed Christian college would object to the poster, but I don't have a strong opinion that they should either. She can stand on a public sidewalk directly across from campus with her sign.
I got a pretty good look at the poster, and it wasn't particularly shocking. I commend her honesty in putting a quarter in the picture to show how tiny (and obviously brainless) the fetus depicted really was.
I do believe that the "pro-life" people who stand around with pictures of big bloody pieces should be suppressed for the same reason public displays of pornography should be suppressed. Its gross. People shouldn't have to look at gross images in public.
The grossness has nothing to do with whether its an independent human being or not. Generally, its not.
Don't bother to bring up Gosnell again. He was killing live babies, not 15 week fetuses incapable of survival outside the womb and lacking central nervous systems. There's a BIG difference. Gosnell's conviction was based on the difference.
Great juxtaposition between what the University President says at the podium and what happens on his campus.
It makes him out to be the hypocrite.

So much for Christianity. They now advocate for the murder of children openly, not in the shadow any more.
Its not murder Gary, and there is no child. If there was, it would be murder, and it is illegal in every state, as amply allowed for by Roe v. Wade.
Siarly, your position on abotion (FOR) is very obvious. How do you think a maturing child has no brain? Who told you that? Every child has developing organs very early in the growth process.
Is a bean sprout living? How is it that if a drunk driver hits a pregnant woman, and she loses her child, it is manslaughter, but if the woman hires someone to kill the same growing child, it is "freedom of choice"?
Modesto, in the immortal words of John Anderson, I am not for abortion, I am for freedom of choice.
Your prejudicial use of the term "child" when referring to an abdominal growth that will, if not interrupted, become a child, borders on the old saw about "when did you stop beating your wife?"
A bean sprout is indeed living. Would you therefore prosecute someone for eating one? The question is not life... after all, we consume vegetables, fruits, even the flesh of mammals. The question is HUMAN life, and, more precisely, it is when an individual PERSON exists with legal rights equal to those of the woman also concerned.
Its pretty well established that sometime after about 20 weeks gestation, a fetus has a sufficiently developed central nervous system to have some indication of self-awareness. I'm all for resetting the line from "quickening," to 20 weeks, although I think the Supreme Court will have to rule on it, a state legislature can't do that on its own.
Also, 20 weeks is a little on the safe side of when a prematurely delivered baby could survive on its own, without artificial life support, outside the womb.
I think its extremely important that the police powers of the state not coerce a woman into carrying inside her own body a growth process she does not wish to carry. Once another adult could take responsibility, the burden shifts.
