ALEXANDRIA, La.
(BP) -- Many in the media tend to characterize conservative Christians as
anti-science. But when it comes to the issue of abortion, it would seem that
those who truly reject science are many of those same media members -- and their
ideological allies -- who affirm abortion-on-demand.
Let me explain.
Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty legal group based in Arizona, filed a lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University on behalf of a student group that was denied university funding for an exhibit that compares abortion to other historically recognized forms of genocide, according to a report on the Detroit Free Press website.
"The lawsuit says that the student government should have allocated the roughly $5,000 that Students for Life had requested in February to sponsor the Genocide Awareness Project. The project uses large displays to compare abortion to the Nazis' mass killing of Jews, the lynching of African Americans, and genocide in Cambodia," reported the Free Press.
According to the Free Press report, the Genocide Awareness Project travels the country and visits universities. It is sponsored by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, a pro-life organization based in California. The lawsuit alleges EMU violated the constitutional rights of Students for Life because the distribution of student fees for campus events is to be politically neutral.
"Asked by Students for Life why the money was denied, a member of the board of student government said in an e-mail: 'The images you want to display are very controversial ... a little biased,' according to the lawsuit," reported the Free Press. "The e-mail said that student senators 'would prefer to fund something that brings awareness to both sides of the issue.'"
From a purely scientific standpoint, there is nothing controversial about pregnancy. Science has firmly established that during pregnancy a living human being develops in the mother's womb. Baptist press.
