but we also navigated many difficult conversations. Many students we talked to who initially thought they were pro-choice, after seeing the brutality of the D&E abortion procedure, were absolutely disgusted, and it completely changed their perspective on the issue of abortion.
To make the day even more interesting, there was a moment when a group of students from other countries who, after finding out abortion was legal in the United States, especially after 20 weeks, were completely horrified! They called over their friends all the way down the hallway to come sign our petition. Lastly, we a had great discussion with a moral relativist who lived his life by a utilitarian value system, and we were able to explain our side and have a rational discussion with civility and tact. By the end, our new guest appreciated our conversation, noting how we had given him many things to think about!

During the #TheyFeelPain tour stop at the University of Missouri, I spoke to 3 young, black women and informed them of how a fetus feels pain at 20 weeks. We had a 10-minute conversation about the abortion procedures used and how abortion has oppressed the black community. Turns out that none of them had ever heard what an abortion actually was and were shocked and disgusted that this was even legal. One of the young women told me how her cousin’s boyfriend’s mother was attempting to pressure her cousin to have an abortion. She asked if she could take a picture of the display, specifically of the abortion instruments and fetal models and send them to her cousin. I quickly told her, “Yes!” and she sent a picture to her cousin with a caption explaining that abortion is violently ending a life and that she shouldn’t go through with it.

(VIDEO) Student Argues for Infanticide
Last month, Students for Life of America’s Appalachian Regional Coordinator, Brenna Lewis, recorded an encounter with a pro-choice student, who sought to justify his support for infanticide of two-year-olds. The student attends University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
The student claimed that because a two-year-old may not be sentient, that the two-year-old baby does not have the same right to life. He also compared its rights to that of a tree. Because the baby cannot talk, for example, the student argued that it did not have the same rights.
“The shocking video sadly represents the mainstream of the pro-choice movement. When Planned Parenthood consistently opposes even common-sense regulations, such as prohibiting Down syndrome abortions, we should not be surprised that people are increasingly joining the pro-life movement. Young people continue to move more and more away from the pro-choice movement because of their extreme positions, justifying even infanticide” noted Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America.
This is hardly the first time pro-choice activists have sought to justify infanticide. We know, for example, that Princeton professor Peter Singer has long championed killing babies born with disabilities, and has also justified killing babies up to two years of age. He said, for example, “Human babies are not born self-aware, or capable of grasping that they exist over time. They are not persons.”
In fact, a Planned Parenthood lobbyist openly admitted the group’s support for ‘post-birth abortion’, which is just infanticide. Falling back on the same arguments of “women’s choice”, the Planned Parenthood lobbyist defended the right to kill a born, breathing baby.
And four years ago, students signed a fake petition supporting 4th trimester abortion, which is the same as infanticide, since pregnancies end after the 3rd trimester.
