Campus Conservatives and Pro-lifers Fight for TruthMay 9, 2016Discrimination against conservatives on campus is a dramatic story being told by Peter Fricke and other great reporters at CampusReform.org. In many cases, however, pro-lifers at colleges and universities across the country are pushing back. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, has been reporting not only on how “progressives” are running rampant, but how pro-life students are making their views and presence felt. Her organization has sponsored more than 900 student groups on campuses representing all 50 states. Here are some recent examples of where conservative and pro-life students and faculty are fighting back:
As we reported, Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher learning in America, hosted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. The campus Students for Life group brought Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood Director, to campus the same day. Her organization, And Then There Were None, is dedicated to helping abortion workers and doctors leave the industry. As if conservatives didn’t face enough liberals on campus, the richly endowed leftist outfit known as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is trying to establish “Southern Poverty Law Center clubs” on colleges and universities. The website for this effort recommends use of the SPLC “Hate Map,” a device that inspired a homosexual militant to open fire with a weapon in the offices of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. The gay terrorist wounded a security guard and had intended to massacre the staff in protest over the FRC’s support for traditional marriage. The SPLC is still offering “Teaching Tolerance educational kits,” even though one of its projects had previously praised communist terrorist bomber Bill Ayers as a “civil rights organizer, radical anti-Vietnam War activist, teacher and author.” An “editor’s note” in one SPLC publication went so far as to say that Ayers had become “a highly respected figure in the field of multicultural education.” On the other hand, the SPLC uses the “hate” and “extremist” label to deny conservatives a voice on college campuses. The SPLC was a factor in the recent decision by the tax-funded SUNY New Paltz administration to cancel a debate on campus simply because I was included in it. I have filed a Freedom of Information request under state law for all of the evidence in this censorship case. We want the names of all of those faculty members and administrators involved in subverting academic freedom on campus. This article was originally published on Accuracy in Media (AIM.org).

Whatever the reason for this fear, it causes many of us pass up opportunities to speak out on behalf of the unborn. You can overcome this fear, says Trent Horn in his new book Persuasive Pro-Life. With a little knowledge and a few proven techniques, you can become a bold and effective apologist for life. Buy it here.
