This past Sunday (10/17) about 15 students and volunteers spent nearly three and a half hours setting up more than 1,100 small crosses in Wittich Field at UW-La Crosse. Each of those crosses represents one human life that was aborted in the United States on an average day. The following morning those students found those crosses littered across the field and 5 pro-choice signs affixed to the fence nearby. As Chairman of the UW-La Crosse College Republicans from May 2008 through May 2010 I witnessed vandalism towards the College Republicans from liberally biased groups such as the College Democrats and Progressives. One of those occurrences of vandalism prompted Chancellor Joe Gow to send an email to all students asking them to be respectful to the views and efforts of other student groups. Clearly these actions have continued. Liberals like to preach openness and tolerance however they clearly do not feel that their own tolerance rules apply to them.

As a Christian, I could point out numerous passages in the Bible that life begins at conception. (Psalm 51:5; Luke chapter 1 where John the Baptist leaps for joy in his mother's womb when Mary, the mother of Jesus, comes to visit...to name a few).
 
There is an intellectual side to pro-choice vs. pro-life, and that is purpose of my writing.

All valid and true arguments. All of which I have used and will continue to use. Yet one thing that pro-choice advocates, who claim we live in a democracy, and not a theocracy, do not understand was made even clearer to me today.
 

Another online debate took place this week and here's one of the submissions I contributed to describe my opinion to a pro-abortion writer:
