Pro-choice porn prof pleads “no contest” to charges of grand theft, battery, vandalism
Am following up on the March 4 incident when abortion zealot Mireille Miller-Young, a professor of porn studies at University of California, Santa Barbara, went berserk when coming upon a pro-life display of abortion victims.
Miller-Young and a couple of her students stole a sign belonging to 16-year-old Thrin Short. Short’s sister Joan videotaped the incident as well as Miller-Young assaulting Thrin when she tried to retrieve her sign.
As God would have it, Thrin and Joan’s mother is Katie Short, legal director for the Life Legal Defense Foundation, which I’m sure made Miller-Young say, “Oh, shoot,” or something thereabouts, when she learned of the connection.
Miller-Young was charged with battery, grand theft, and vandalism, which she at first denied. But when her day in court came last week, she thought better of leaving her fate to a jury and pleaded no contest, which translates, according to Fox News:
The charges reportedly carry the possibility of jail time, but sources close to the matter say Miller-Young is likely to be ordered to pay a fine, perform community and undergo counseling when she’s sentenced on Aug. 14.
More on the incident from Fox:
“Before she grabbed the sign, she was mocking me and talking over me in front of the students, saying that she was twice as old as me and had three degrees, so they should listen to her and not me,” Thrin Short told FoxNews.com in March. “Then she started the chant with the students about ‘tear down the sign.’ When that died out, she grabbed the sign.”
With a graphic anti-abortion sign in hand, Miller-Young — whose faculty web page says she specializes in black cultural studies and pornography — then allegedly walked through two campus buildings as Short, her sister and two UCSB students followed….
Miller-Young then allegedly pushed Short at least three times as she tried to stop an elevator door from closing as the educator stood inside with her sign, Short said.
Miller-Young later claimed she had a “moral right” to act in the manner she did, according to a report filed by campus police.
At least for the purposes of attempting to kill the controversy, Miller-Young has apparently decided her claim of a “moral right” to censor signs showing the slaughter of little children, which she supports, may be weak.

Saw the video. Wow, that prof is quite the piece of work. Pretty brave girl though.
Screaming “I have three college degrees!” speaks volumes how little the professor’s outburst had to do with pregnancy and how much it had to do with narcissism.
“I have three college degrees!”
More stunning evidence that humans are stupid and even an academician can be educated beyond her intelligence.
To me, whenever someone feels the need to bring up their academic credentials in an argument, it just screams “I’m insecure”! Of course, I could be wrong about this. After all, I only have one university degree.
I would agree JDC, that it screams insecurity. Going out on a limb here JDC, but based on what I have read of your comments, I’d bet your one degree has more academic rigor and substance than the three degrees that qualified her to teach pornography.
I’m Phi Beta Kappa. Just sayin.’

Thanks, Eric. My degree is in economics, which is widely regarded as the softest of the sciences. But I’m sure it still beats anything that this lady has ever studied.
If the lady is so brilliant then she should understand that we have a Constitution and it guarantees free speech.
She should also realize that playing cop can get someone in a lot of trouble, seriously injured, or dead. I’m sure she has campus security on speed dial. Perhaps next time she will consult them before taking the law into her own hands.
They might also explain to the charming professor that walking off with someone’s property is theft. She has no more right take their signs than someone has to take her purse or drive off with her car.
I have two degrees, but one is from community college so I guess that doesn’t count.
I used to work at a place where one if the employers would answer the phone by saying “Jonathan ____, PhD. His doctorate was in opera. I know he worked hard for that degree, but what can you do with a degree in opera? Treat sick arias?
Phillymiss…a degree from a community college absolutely counts!!! I used to teach at one (being Phi Beta Kappa and all), and I had a rigorous class and great students!

“Speaking of porn – does anybody know if Lila Rose ever did any? She looks right hot.”
Indeed she does Henry, you’ll get mixed results, though, because there is also a “Lila Rose” stage name for a woman in the adult film industry already. The pro-life Lila Rose has not done any, as far as I know.
You can google “lila rose hot” or “lila rose nude” or “lila rose naked” – judge for yourself.
Mods could you please delete the post by Jerald encouraging Henry to goggle porn websites. Totally inappropriate.
“goggle”? :P
And it wasn’t porn sites… It’s just Google Images.
Searching for “xxxx xxxxxx hot” (where the x’s represent the name of the person) is one of the most common Google searches.
But still, did Henry put on his goggles? :)
Okay, somebody has been hiding or “deleting” posts, already, so just use your tweak to see them all….
Thanks, everybody. Tweak works perfectly. David, yeah on Lila Rose’s face – and that’s what really made me wonder. Wishful thinking….
We need a grassroots campaign to get Lila Rose involved. “Live Action… Exposed…” :)
