UNC is supposed to be more liberal blah blah, but there are a tons of freaky people out there. Fundamenalist preachers (one Gary the Pit Preacher, for ex). And this group is coming this week to talk about abortion as genocide and display fetuses and all that shit.
I'm helping a friend of mine who works at the Planned Parenthood in Chapel Hill put together a handout about abortion and contraceptives that will be passed out to students. This is from a PP email we got about the events:
Imagine you're back on campus, attending classes....one October morning on your way to class, you're assaulted by an 18 foot photo billboard with images of the Holocaust, Cambodian genocide, racial lynchings and supposed "aborted fetuses." Fifteen distorted images litter the landscape.
What's more? Your student fees brought them here!
This is the actual situation facing UNC Students in the coming weeks. The Student Body Congress allocated 10% of their discretionary funds to Carolina Students for Life to bring this abhorrent exhibit to campus. This inflammatory display does nothing to contribute to an open dialog about the causes for unintended pregnancy-the number one cause of abortion.

Does this sound like the exhibit on NCSU?
