I am pro-life.

Wait, please, before you throw this paper down in disgust, take a moment to hear my side.

I don’t pardon the actions of the members of Missionaries to the Preborn; those people only represent a small fraction of those who believe that abortion is wrong.

I am upset by the tactics they used, I am angry that they belittled people and I wish they had better represented pro-life views.

There is nothing convincing about getting in a woman’s face and calling her a baby killer.

To Mr. Carroll, the man quoted to have said, “I could pray to God that he strike you dead. … You believe that a human being could be killed for convenience,” I ask you, sir, what gives you the right to pray that God would strike someone dead?

The pictures around campus were disturbing and hardly respectful.

Whether you consider it a baby or a fetus, they are pictures of a dead person.

No one deserves to have their picture exploited after they die, whether they lived long enough to breathe oxygen or not.

Not all people who hold the pro-life viewpoint agree with the demonstrations yesterday.

Please, remember that. Give us a chance.
