Kudos to Carolina Students for Life, the UNC Chapel Hill campus organization that supports the dignity of human life. The group’s recent on-campus display, which featured photos of the stark reality of abortion, was so effective that there’s now talk of “investigating” the display.
No kidding. From the Daily Tar Heel (emphasis is mine):
Student Congress will not play a role in a student open forum related to the anti-abortion display in Polk Place last month.
Instead, Carolina Students for Life will be in charge of the forum, which will take place after a pro-life speaker presents.
The decision ends a weeks-long debate about how Congress should deal with the aftermath of the controversial display.
In last Tuesday’s student affairs committee meeting, a resolution to investigate Carolina Students for Life’s abortion display was presented by Congressman Ryan O’Quinn.
But after much debate, O’Quinn decided to withdraw his resolution and planned to just submit the proposal at Wednesday’s full body Congress meeting instead.
He submitted a resolution to request a question-and-answer session sponsored by Carolina Students for Life on Nov. 10 at 8:30 p.m. in Student Union Room 3411.
Though the resolution was not passed, the forum still will happen.
According to the resolution, the Oct. 22 and 23 display in Polk Place did not permit a full dialogue despite its intention to foster debate on campus.
On the contrary. The reasons some people are upset by the display and want to “investigate” is precisely because it IS fostering debate.
What a shame that pro-abortion students aren’t nearly as concerned about the unborn as they are about a display.
