Harvard posters vandalized

The Harvard Right to Life club has had it’s posters vandalized recently by pro-choice activists. Lifenews has written about this recent attack:

Abortion advocates at Harvard University are coming under fire for infringing on the free speech rights of the campus pro-life group by tearing down and defacing pro-life posters depicting an unborn child and describing facts about a developing baby before birth.

Only at a university is defacing posters an exercise in defence of free speech.

The posters feature an unborn baby girl that Harvard Right to Life has nicknamed Elena. The current set of posters displayed on campus is the second in a series the pro-life student group is using to increase respect for the unborn.

“The posters from this semester are getting torn down left and right,” HRL President Meghan Grizzle, told the Harvard Crimson student newspaper. “Apparently people find the picture of a fetus gruesome and I don’t understand why, because we’re not showing pictures of an aborted fetus or a dead baby,” Grizzle said. She indicated the student group is having to replace posters at numerous displays around campus where they have been subject to vandalism or destroyed entirely.

Here is one of the posters that caused the consternation. Two others are under the fold.
