Professor attacks pro-life students on campus: Next Faith On Trial

On March 4, Joan Short, a student a Thomas Aquinas College and a member of a pro-life student group, along with her younger sister, Thrin, were handing out pro-life literature in a “free speech zone” on the campus of the University of California Santa Barbara when a professor of feminist studies approached and took their sign which showed images of aborted babies.  The professor also assaulted the younger sister as she tried to reclaim the poster. The professor took the poster to her office where she destroyed it; she now faces prosecution for theft and assault.

On Tuesday we will have Joan Short as our guest to tell the story and to urge young people to become involved in the pro-life movement.  In addition, in-studio we will have Dowling Catholic students Abby Dowd and Rachel Pierick, both involved in the pro-life movement who took part in January’s March for Life in Washington.

Join Deacon Mike Manno and co-host Gina Noll Tuesday morning at 9 (CDT) or our rebroadcast at 9 p.m. on Iowa Catholic Radio 1150 AM; 88.5 & 94.5 FM and streaming live on IowaCatholicRadio.com.
