More Huge Successes at Unlikely Places!(Pro-life movement at Harvard)

Few people would expect Harvard University to be a hotbed of pro-life activism. However, in recent years, thanks to intense pro-abortion opposition, pro-life students at Harvard have made quite a name for themselves.

A few years ago, a law student who merely posted a series of signs which read "Smile, Your Mom Chose Life" received nationwide attention. This year an undergraduate group generated controversy with nothing more than its "Natalie" campaign - - a series of posters depicting an unborn child in different stages of fetal development were placed around campus every week.

Pro-lifers will be heartened to know that this activism has continued well into the spring. In fact, in mid-April Harvard Law, School's Society for Law Life and Religion hosted a pro-life symposium entitled "Abortion and the Culture of Death."

The first speaker, Vera Faith Lord, serves as the head of Alpha Omega Life ministries. During the course of her talk, Ms. Lord talked about her own post-abortive experience.

She began her remarks by talking about the slogan, "It is your body and your right to choose."

"That slogan is everywhere," she said, "but no one tells you what happens after you choose."

Ms. Lord talked about her own experiences and she described herself as the "poster child for abortion." She had a black eye and a broken rib and was abusing alcohol and drugs when she was pregnant. Everyone told her that abortion was a kind choice and the right thing to do. "However, every word was a lie," she said.
