"A woman's life should not be dictated solely by the parameters of her body." When you make the choice to chance getting pregnant, you give up the rights to your body as your own, agreeing to potential house another. Any mom will tell you.
I'm a mother of a 7 month old baby girl. But I don't agree with your assessment whatsoever.

Informed consent is one thing, but using images whose origin is unknown does not inform the viewer of anything. In fact, the lack of citations makes me wonder about the validity of these images.

Do you mean to question the validity of the holocaust images - or the lynching photos? Or is it only the aborted babies that you won't believe? Do you think that an aborted child looks somehow different than these images? Do you think your "valid image" of an aborted baby would look more gruesome - or less? Why is it so hard to believe?

People who respond by demanding "citations" are in deep denial of what the photographs are portraying. I guess you may be a holocaust denier, too?

I don't like the GAP because it makes it too easy for people to prevaricate. Abortion sparks passion in both sides, and on a college campus the GAP doesn't seem efficacious enough where it pretty much comes down to Pro-Choice and Anti-Choice.
The pictures of aborted babies isn't really the part I find bothersome, but I'm sure, "So if I have an abortion I'm like Hitler" has come up many times.

I would like to thank CBR for the GAP project. America needs to wake up and realize the genocide occurring today inside our borders.

Isn't the Women's Center an official agency of the University? How is it that the University is taking sides on this issue and teaming up with the radical pro-abortion Planned Parenthood?

I think it required serious attention

The Women's Center is funded by OSU, though I would argue that it can certainly take a pro-women stand in this debate.
However, that's irrelevant, because the article apparently got it wrong - the people I talked to were from the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, not the Women's Center.
And besides, anyone who thinks Planned Parenthood is "radical" or "pro-abortion" is off their rocker, and the use of such code language is kind of a giveaway to that effect

"A woman's life should not be dictated solely by the parameters of her body." When you make the choice to chance getting pregnant, you give up the rights to your body as your own, agreeing to potential house another. Any mom will tell you. I have three children, and I had an abortion before any of them. The reality of the choice I made is clear to me, and heartbreaking.
