You Should Have Been Aborted!
An angry woman confronts CBR’s Maggie Egger.
by Jacqueline Hawkins
“You should have been aborted!” a male Grand Valley State University student shouted at CBR’s Jane Bullington. While it hurts to be told these things, it could be taken as a good sign.
First and foremost, their anger shows that the images have pricked their consciences. The images are disturbing, but Dr. Martin Luther King taught us that until people are disturbed by the status quo, there is no pressure for change.
When they say, “You should have been aborted,” they show that they understand, on some level, that abortion does take a human life. They wish that our lives had been taken. They sometimes follow up with, “I hope you die!” Note the connection. In other words, “I wish you were dead; preferably sooner than later, but better late than never.”
Granted, this is not a well-thought-out reaction. But it’s often the knee-jerk reaction that reveals a person’s true thoughts.
We happily continue our work because some of these students will take their own words to heart. One day, they will know that killing is killing, whether later or sooner.

Walk a mile in pre-born shoes
by Jacqueline Hawkins
Walk a mile in the shoes of the pre-born. After all, you were pre-born too.
With tears in his eyes, a young man pointed to the sign with 24-week old babies—the unwanted child (an aborted corpse) and the wanted child (the premie in an ICU). He was a student at Grand Valley State University.
“I was that baby,” he told CBR staff member Jane Bullington. “I was born at 24½ weeks and spent 11 months in the hospital.” Even today, his voice is raspy from the trachea tube that chafed his throat during those 11 months. “That picture hits home. Thank you for sharing my story.”
Because he was wanted, doctors worked hard to preserve his life. But what if he had been unwanted? The answer was all too obvious. The pictures hit home when we can see ourselves as that unwanted child, weak and alone with nowhere to turn.
Not everyone can say that he was a black person or a Jew with a target on his back. But everyone can honestly say he was in a group targeted for elimination. Everyone was a pre-born baby.

Bias Crimes and Science Denial at the Academy
CBR volunteer fugitive John Dillinger (not his real name) commits a “bias” crime by suggesting that gender is determined at conception. (We couldn’t possibly make this stuff up.)
Check out my new piece over at Townhall.com, Bias Crimes and Science Denial at the Academy.
There is a place to rate the article, so please let Townhall know what you think. Look for the graphic just below the Townhall article and sound off! Share on Facebook, too.
The piece describes how a single statement of scientific fact was turned into a police investigation at Grand Valley State University (GVSU). It was bizarre.
CBR volunteer John Dillinger (not his real name) was eventually allowed to leave campus. (He is still required to report his whereabouts daily to his wife, but that’s something else and we don’t want to get into that.) Anyway, …

Pro-Life on Campus at Grand Valley State University
Patti Shanley of Raleigh, North Carolina traveled with us to Michigan for a week of GAP.
This was our first trip to Grand Valley State University (GVSU). The GVSU Students for Life did an awesome job of hosting both GAP and our Pro-Life Training Academy (PLTA).
The Quote of the Week came from one of the students who actually came out to protest against GAP:
You saved my future children. I would have aborted them. Now I won’t because I know what it looks like.
