The intolerance of “tolerance”
by Fr. Daniel Sparks ~ May 8, 2008According to a WorldNetDaily article and a video posted on YouTube (see below), a member of the student senate at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point was upset by a student group’s pro-life display on the school’s campus and tore parts of it down. Based on his comments from the video recording, he believes that, because the U.S. Supreme Court has already spoken on abortion, that the subject is no longer open to public discourse.
Interestingly, he apparently makes the argument that the display of white crosses–which typically represent the number of children who have been killed by abortion in the U.S.–would cause trauma to any student on the campus who was considering abortion or who had an abortion. This is interesting because his obvious support for abortion would imply that it is an acceptable and healthy method of birth control; however, his statements on the video imply that reminders of abortion are traumatic to women who have had abortions.
Watch the video and read the WND article for yourself. This student’s behavior is shameful, and so is the fact that our nation continues to allow the murder of millions. We have no right to shake our heads at Hitler.
