USC reneges, censors campus display about fetal development
by Kelli
The banners featured 11-week-old fetuses, such as the ones shown here with the Mother Teresa quote “Life is a promise, fulfill it,” on one and “at 8 weeks she began to hear… at 11 weeks every organ system was functioning” on the other.
Later Tuesday, the flags were gone. Toward the bottom of the fixture was a sign that read: “Women deserve the right to choose.”…
A total of 12 banners on six light posts were removed….
In discussing the matter on Facebook, several USC students stated they were upset by the development, that the fact that gay pride banners may wave but not pro-life ones smacked as hypocritical and viewpoint discrimination….
“It is unbelievable that USC removed all the posters that were put up around the school,” [University student government senator and USC College Republicans member Jacob Ellenhorn] stated. “They were put up through all the proper channels. It seems as though not even USC can stand for intellectual diversity. Why stop an authentic conversation about abortion? What is so offensive about the facts of life?”

Note: Pro-life displays have been vandalized at USC before, and there’s no sign that attempts to censor the facts surrounding fetal development on high school and college campuses is going to let up anytime soon.

I see banners on fetal development. They say nothing about abortion. Who can’t even handle the scientific truth about his or her own development?
Listen up, abortion supporters: every time you do this, you are proving that the truth is not on your side.
And you do this ALL. THE. TIME.
If you wouldn’t censor pro-lifers, question why the people leading your movement would and do.
Perhaps the controversy over gag-ruling the message will create more conversations than leaving the message up.
We win, even when we lose.
The truth will not be suppressed.
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” Jn 3:19–21
Like Jack Nicholson said, “(They) can’t handle the truth.”
They are wicked lost sinners. They act just like their daddy.
Perhaps they were considered inaccurate. I’ve not seen information showing that fetuses can hear at 8 weeks or that every organ system is fully functional at 11 weeks.
Women deserve the right to know. The fact that a bunch of mean girls are trying to bully other women by supressing their education is, lets face it, honest about who these women really are and what they really want; power over other women and the bodies of other women.
I am a woman, and I want the banners up. They keep me from being lied to by irresponsible men and “educators” who would have me believe my three week old child is a glob of bubble gum instead of a person in the explosive first moments of his or her life. More fair than not, they don’t restrict women’s choice, they expand it. Women’s choice is not the enemy, it’s the evil powers hoping to ruin us by telling us we have no choices but “choice,”, or that its sill or stupid to think a human being in the womb is a baby capable of feeling pain.
Thanks to all who support the pain capable bill, because that bill, like these banners, educate women and disempower those who would profit from our silence.
But are those posters accurate Angel ?
The ears begin to FUNCTION Reality at 8 weeks because the inner ear parts are formed. What they actually HEAR we don’t know. But the ears start working then. And all the systems are formed and functioning by 11 weeks. That is true. I know this because I am 20 weeks pregnant and have a pregnancy journal that goes into detail each day to show how my baby is developing. It is not a pro-life journal just a scientific one.
Btw–not yelling, just stressing certain words. So yes, I’d say those banners are accurate.
But I don’t think they’d even have a problem with the banners if there were just words. I think it is the photo of the baby that riles them up.
Sydney, nothing gets a pro-abort’s undies in a knot like a picture of a baby.
The people running USC must be some of the same progressive imbeciles that still want people to believe an unborn baby girl is just a glob of cells until she passes through the magical vagina vortex and becomes a baby.
Sounds to me Sydney M., that the posters stretch the truth somewhat. Maybe that was a contributing factor in their removal.
