Pro-Life Display At University of Miami Vandalized

A pro-life student organization at the University of Miami had a display destroyed by vandals.

The display showed multiple renderings of graduation caps to represent the 370,000 Americans who would have graduated from college this year had their lives not been ended through abortion.  The display used 370 caps, each representing 1,000 murdered children.

University President and former Clinton Administration official Donna Shalala condemned the vandalism.

“I am sorry your display was vandalized,” Shalala wrote in an e-mail posted on the UM Respect Life’s website.  “That behavior is unacceptable at the University of Miami.  I have asked our division of student affairs and campus police to investigate.  You and your fellow students have every right to express your views.”

The display was one of four nationwide that were reported vandalized.  In addition to the University of Miami, displays were destroyed at George Washington University, Winthrop University and in Chicago’s Daley Plaza.

Vandals Destroy Boston Area Church

A church in Brighton, Massachusetts was destroyed by a group of vandals.

Our Lady of the Presentation Church’s organ was completely destroyed by the assailants who entered the church some time between November 23rd and November 25th. Police say a gold crucifix was ripped from the altar and thrown to the front door.

An oil portrait of Pope Francis was ripped from the wall and ripped into pieces. The vandals then painted satanic messages and emblems on the painting.

Fire extinguishers throughout the building were used to spray residue on the walls. Several doors and windows were also broken.

Officers found food and a half empty bottle of wine at the scene indicating the criminals spent some time in the building.

St. John’s Seminary released a statement saying the violators were captured on security video and that the tape is in the hands of the Boston Police Department.

Vandals Destroy Pro-Life Display On College Campus

A pro-life student group at Central Michigan University discovered that someone had torn down and stolen their pro-life campus display.

The display featured infant clothing hanging on a clothesline. One out of every four pieces of clothing contained a red X to show that one in every four pregnancies is ending in abortion. The group also had a sign posted informing people about the horrors of abortion.

The Central Michigan University Police have confirmed they were investigating the vandalism and theft.

“I can’t say that I am surprised given the culture of the campus and I think that it’s sad that people can’t just disagree and the only way they can express themselves is by silencing our message,” Sarah Donetti of CMU’s Students For Life told Campus Reform.

The group had requested to post the display in September but the Student Activities and Involvement Office kept delaying action on their request until finally approving it in mid-November.
