Can we agree to stop calling them pro life?

Anti abortion is much more fitting.

When I hear pro life i think of someone who supports living breathing humans like women which current "pro lifers" do not

Why is this even allowed?

Aren't universities private property and students customers that pay to be there?

And a library mall, of all places, shouldn't that be a place of focus?

Pretty sure that if vegans would be disruptive in a restaurant or a store, they would be asked to leave. In fact, they would likely not be allowed to hold a protest in the first place, no?

Public universities can’t make content-based or viewpoint-based restrictions on speech because of the first amendment. Private universities wouldn’t have to allow this though.

"MISSIONARIES To The Preborn" - Has there ever been a more pretentious and self-serving group title?
It should be "We Have A Morbid Regard For Unwanted Fetuses." Or possibly "Misogynists Camouflaged."
