*An anti-abortion ministry known for its aggressive and controversial outreach work is pursuing criminal charges against a*UC*Santa Barbara professor, who allegedly stole one of its banners, assaulted one of its members, then helped destroy the banner during a confrontation on campus last Tuesday. The*UCSB*police department is investigating the*incident.According to 21-year-old Joan Short — a student at Thomas Aquinas College and a member of the Christian pro-life group*Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust— she, her 16-year-old sister Thrin, and 11 other Survivors had set up three large signs in an area of campus heavy with foot traffic called the Arbor. The banners, along with literature the activists handed out, displayed graphic imagery of late-term abortions that Joan said was intended to “begin conversations” with passing*students.

Joan said that at around 11 a.m.,*Dr. Mireille Miller-Young*— an associate professor with*UCSB’s Feminist Studies Department — approached the demonstration site and exchanged heated words with the group, taking issue with their pro-life proselytizing and use of disturbing photographs. Joan claimed Miller-Young, accompanied by a few of her students, led the gathering crowd in a chant of “Tear down the sign! Tear down the sign!” before grabbing one of the banners and walking with it across*campus.Joan said she called 9-1-1 and Thrin started filming, and that the pair followed Miller-Young and two of her students — who Joan referred to as “the fugitives” — into nearby South Hall. As Miller-Young and the students boarded an elevator, Joan said that Thrin repeatedly blocked the door with her hand and foot and that Miller-Young continually pushed her back. Miller-Young then exited the elevator and tried to yank Thrin away from the door while the students attempted to grab her video camera. “As Thrin tried to get away, the professor’s fingernails left bloody scratches on her arms,” Joan claimed. The struggle ended when Thrin relented, Miller-Young walked away, the students rode up in the elevator, and officers arrived to interview those*involved.“The police did not seem overly concerned about the incident until they saw the video and realized how violent the professor had been,” said Kristina Garza, director of campus outreach for the Riverside-based Survivors ministry. “She was definitely leading the group,” said Joan. “I sincerely doubt any crime would have been committed if she hadn’t been*there.

No helpless babies to stomp to death eh?

Of course you dont. Liberals love violence only second to theft.

Do you know anything about this organization and it's ties or do you just hand that out thoughtlessly?

It makes absolutely no difference what their organization is or what its ties are. Violence and the destruction of property is a modern liberal MO. They love it only second to theft.

Well, then you have nothing. Thanks.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

No, I have the fact that aside from theft, which is a liberal darling, violence is their next most cherished tactic.

 

[Disir]

No. Again. You have nothing. You're a waste. We're done.

 

[1751_Texan]

The article did not mention if they were students at UCSB [most likely not] or a campus organization [most likely not] or if they had permission to set up and hand out lit...[I would guess no]

They got what they wanted TV time.

Slow news day?

So who compiles all these sad stories of victimhood that the conservatives go into orgasms over?

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

By the sounds of the name of the college its a religious school? Why would they have a feminist department?

 

[WinterBorn]

I don't feel bad for them.

Of course you dont. Liberals love violence only second to theft.

Let me know when professors start shooting Pro-Life people or when they start harassing them at home. You know, like the prolifers who have murdered abortion doctors or harassed clinic workers?

Protecting babies from baby murderers is a good thing. If murder in the defense of an innocent life is what it takes. That's fine by me.

Its fine by me that you feel that way. This professor obviously feels that protecting women's rights is important.

What I am saying is that it is laughable that the prolifers try to claim the prochoicers are the violent ones.

Violent pro lifers are a minority. Most just protest/sign petitions and vote. A woman like anyone else does not have the right to murder a baby. Don't want one don't have sex. Easiest way to prevent it.

So YOU DO condone violence so long as those dishing it out are on your side? That is in effect what you are saying. That unless one of yours murders someone any violence they do in the name of abortion is fine with you.

By the way care to tell us how many doctors have been murdered by members of a pro life group and not by some random nutjob?
