Anti-Choice Group Compares Abortion To Genocide

Trigger warning.

I have posted once before about a monopolization of public space on my campus by sexist and patriarchal forces, but this situation takes the cake. I walked up to my classroom building on Tuesday to see a fire truck, an ambulance, a police car, and a giant sign that said “GENOCIDE.” After quickly realizing I was not in any immediate danger and letting my heartbeat slow down, I realized what I was witnessing was a massive anti-choice display. And by ‘massive’ I mean — 20-foot tall images of aborted fetuses, lynched people of color, and Holocaust victims. Nazi symbols next to pictures of Barack Obama. This stuff makes the sex-crazed preacher who was here in January look like Gloria Steinem.

I took some time out of my midterms to document their display, as well as interview one of the representatives. There was a great counter-display going on by the local Planned Parenthood people on campus. But the fact remains — I don’t even understand how this kind of obscene propoganda dominating and monopolizing space on a public college campus is legal.
