MSU gets visit from anti-abortionists
An anti-abortion group displaying pictures of aborted fetus arrived on MSU’s campus last Monday.
The group is known as the Missionaries to the Preborn, distributed pamphlets containing photos of mutilated babies. The pamphlet titled “The American Holocaust Photo Display: Why we show the bloody photographs of the Murdered Preborn.” The pamphlet read “Our prayer is that people would be moved with compassion for the helpless preborn when they see these photographs and act to see the blood shed outlawed.”
The group originated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The group was formed in 1990. They began by blockading abortion clinics. Recently the group has been showing pictures of aborted babies. Since 1990, eight Milwaukee abortion clinics have closed.
The group angered some MSU students. A man associated with the group shouted at students “God hates you” along with “You are going towards hell.”
The group’s founder, Matt Trewhela, said “We’ve looked at a thousand pictures of aborted babies. We haven’t found a pretty picture of an aborted baby yet.” Trewhela said the response of MSU students was no different from anywhere else they go.
Some MSU students shook hands with the members. The students thought they portrayed a positive message and were glad they came to MSU.
The culmination of the day occurred when the Missionaries spread out in front of Montana Hall. The Missionaries were met by students carrying signs for pro-choice views. Some students handed out condoms and gave demonstrations on their use.
The Missionaries were at MSU as part of a tour through the western United States. Proto toe coming to MSU the group was at a campus in South Dakota. They plan on going to Wyoming and Nebraska next.
