Ah-ha! soooo I go and take a look. This display is set up in my school's Sombrilla...the center of campus where everyone hangs out until class - the perfect place for a demonstration of this scale. There are tons of people standing around this display sharing their thoughts on abortion, big posters that say free speech on them where people can respond publicly, cops in the background just in case a fight breaks out and a table full of brochures and a sheet to sign declaring whether you thought this was an effective way of communication and should come back to our campus in years to follow. I thought this was really cool and like what a college campus is kind of all about. It's a time where young people are challenged in the beliefs their parents imposed on them and are forced to think for themselves and form their own opinion of our world. The most amazing part was that I heard about this in class...so obviously the display is doing what it was meant to do.
I have never been for abortion but have always had a problem defending it when it comes to being raped. I completely understand the feeling of not being able to love a child of rape and just like hating it and resenting it every single day. On one of the signs there were reasons why people justify abortion. One of them said...The circumstances of my pregnancy are unfair, I hate the father of this baby. and the response was...Do you favor killing a child for the sins of her father? This response was so awesome to me.
InterVarsity, a Christian fellowship that I am in, is doing an Outreach project later this week and the beginning of next week. We will be educating our campus about Human Sex Trafficing. I can only pray that we will provoke conversations in classes and have students standing around our proxy stations having ah-ha moments like I did today.
Awesomeness :)
