lî, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2014 Anti-abortion demonstration causes controversey by AMBER FAIRBANKS associate arts & culture editor On M on d ay C lackam as C om m unity College’s pro-life club “CCC Students For Life” set up a dem onstration in the lawn in front of the Bill Brod Community Center. Signs sticking out o f the lawn read The “Cemetery of innocents” along with 330 bright pink flags with the face o f a baby featured on them , each one representing 10 babies that will be aborted each day. This display can .be found dis­ turbing, but the CCC Students For Life president Simeon Wakefield said h e felt this was a necessary display for students to See. “W hat made us want to do this today is that there is 3,300 babies that get aborted each day” Wakefield said. “We’re trying to raise awareness and show respect for the fives that have been lost like any cemetery would do.” Abortion is a very controversial topic where both sides have very strong opinions. O ften the discus­ sion leads to situations o f sexual assault. “That’s a really, really hard question,” Wakefield said. “The way that I stand is that if someone’s alive, rea so n to ta k e th a t life fr o m th e m . W e should, in a m odern society, be able to come up with, alternative solutions to taking a fife to make someone feel better.” Most students had no idea what the display was about w hen they originally walked past it, and the oiks that did had very differing opinions on the subject. “I’m really against abortion, life is fife. Even i f it was accidental, you knew the consequences of having unsafe sex.” CCC student Madeline Szabo said. Student Nicholas Hadley had a different opinion. “I th in k people should keep to their own opinions and not put it in everybody’s face.” Though CCC Students For Life have vocal opposition, there is no club to represent the pro-choice student body. O n May, 13th PCC Sylvania and PCC Rock Greek had similar dem onstrations on their campus. PCC’s paper ‘The Bridge’ reported that Rock Creek’s Students For Life had set up a ‘m em orial wall’ which featured names o f aborted fetuses etched into the wall. Sylvania’s display stirred up m ore contro­ versy. “Survivors o f the Abortion Holocaust” (SAH) set up very graphic pictures o f aborted fetuses and bloody tissue and were asked to move due to discomfort. Despite all students’ rights to free speech on campus, a dem- ily spark a lot of controversy. The discomfort brought on by this club’s expression o f their right to freedom o f speech was not for everyone. Start your career here!
