The following is a letter written by a friend of mine.
Advocates of Pro-life and Pro-choice occupied the University of Richmond Forum throughout the day Monday, but there was no dialogue between the two groups.
Images of unborn and aborted fetuses were displayed prominently in the middle of the Forum on Monday. The act was set up by Spiders for Life, University of Richmond's Pro-life group. Senior Maggie Egger, president of Spiders for Life, invited community members who shared her beliefs against abortion to help set up and stand with the display. Students supporting Pro-choice beliefs protested the display of the graphic images by standing holding signs to tell students walking by to look down or away while walking past the images.
Nico Doreste's comparison between a medical procedure and rape in his submission, "Government rape: Ultrasounds," to The Collegian last week was beyond ridiculous. It may be news to Nico, but women willingly have instruments stuck into their vaginas by doctors all the time. Making that kind of procedure mandatory, given the desire to have an abortion, is hardly rape.
I predicted my holiday would be fairly uneventful this year considering I had nothing to do for a month except apply for jobs.

What is Spiders for Life? The club has been "on the books" for quite a while, but in recent years it has faded away almost entirely. Until now, that is.
