CBR Virginia Project Director Maggie Egger explains how unwanted people are killed by “choice.”

The Carolina Students for Life (CSFL) hosted our Pro Life Training Academy (PLTA) and Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) in late March.  It was our third trip to Chapel Hill.  We gotta do this more often!

Due to a turf restoration project on Polk Place, the normal venue for displays like GAP, CSFL reserved a very visible space just outside the Wilson Library.

Co-Presidents Julie and Emily Ascik are very effective leaders who labored long and hard to convince the CSFL members to host GAP.  As it turned out, some of the opposition came from “members” who rarely bother to do very much at all (other than obstruct, apparently).  Fortunately, several younger members stepped up and CSFL’s future looks bright indeed.

Media coverage:

• Letter: Abortion should be considered genocide
• Letter: Abortion letter was ignorant and hateful
• Letter: A pro-life response to the abortion letter
• Letter: Thoughts on Israel and abortion
• Letter: The missing element in abortion debates
• Controversial anti-abortion protest on UNC campus
• Visual tactics of anti-abortion protest in front of Wilson Library questioned
• Letter: Abortion display was in bad taste
• Students protest anti-abortion display on campus
• UNC students protest anti-abortion advertisements (video with excellent commentary by CBR’s Maggie Egger)

• Letter: Equal access to contraception is key
• Letter: Thoughts on the abortion display
• Quickhits for April 3, 2014:  Why so serious?

Julie and Emily aren’t the only pro-life warriors in their family.  Older brother Peter was President of the Students for Life at the U of Georgia when they hosted GAP in 2010.

More to come.
