As many on campus, I was surprised and disturbed by the many abortion protests Wednesday. The group combined confrontational methods of protesting abortion and preaching Christianity. I am a Bible-believing Christian, and I am pro-life, yet I disagree with the means used on Wednesday (and an end never justifies the means).
Jesus Christ managed to hang out with the lowest of the low in society while at the same time speaking truth. The group on Wednesday had no interest in spending time with anyone on our campus, as is evidenced by their one-day stint. Jesus Christ warned the sinner of his sin, yet he loved the sinner and some sinners returned his love. The group on Wednesday seemed only interested in telling Aggies how evil they were. We cannot let abortion go by the wayside, but using confrontational methods is the not a Christ like way to confront this issue.
I exhort the pro-life population on this campus to engage the people around them without despising these people. The group on Wednesday hated the campus without even knowing the campus, and we ought to act differently.
