Mixed Nuts at Old Dominion University

Just two years after our first visit to Old Dominion U (ODU) in Norfolk, Va., we were back for another round.  This time, the abortion pictures had just as great an impact as Round 1.

Lightening the load.  A pro-life student has witnessed the power of pictures.  He said, “Thank you so much.  I love it when you guys come to campus.  I don’t know how to talk to people about this, so it’s great that you are here.”

Another student expressed similar sentiments, “Thank you.  I never know how to bring this issue up and your display starts conversations.”

It impacts everyone.  Olivia cried because her father strongly pressured her mother to abort her older sister.  (We wonder what he thinks now?)

Kill them all. “Just kill all the kids, I don’t care!!” she told Joanna.

Hard target.  CBR staffer Maggie overheard 2 guys and 1 girl having an interesting conversation.

Girl: Why don’t you go talk to her [Maggie]?
Guy 1: No. I don’t want to.
Guy 2: So you’re happy to argue with old white men but not a young white woman?
Guy 1: [Inaudible]
Guy 2: Maybe ‘cause you can’t use her age and gender against like you just did with that guy.

Homicide better than suicide?  Student: “Women must be given the choice to abort because we never know if that woman will kill herself without it.”  In other words, women are weak and can’t handle the problems they get themselves into.

Battling the negative vibes.  “For you to put up with these negative attitudes, thank you. It must be hard,” A professor told Jane.

Easy Results. Two adult African-American women asked Mik’aela about rape while a pro-abortion student stood nearby.

Mik’aela:  Should we kill the rapist?
Woman:  No!
Mik’aela:  Should the child get the death penalty instead?
Woman:  Oh! Oh! Oh! You got me! You got me! You’re right!

Her friend agreed and they both thanked Mik’aela and continued to discuss how Mik’aela’s answer was such a good point.  The pro-abortion girl just watched them, thinking.
