This is the con argument for whether the abortion protestsors have a right to protest. To read the pro argument, click here.

Should someone be allowed to post porn on the corner before turning into John Carroll?  If you are saying no right now, you may continue reading.

We all remember the day we were driving to school, and saw the protestors with their graphic pictures.  It was like a bad car accident. The image was forever engrained into our brains. Protestors shouldn’t be allowed to put their pictures anywhere, even if they are on public property.  They wouldn’t be able to post porn outside of school, so why should they be able to post pictures of bloody fetuses in the same place?

I’m not saying that their message was negative, but the way they presented it was. They could have easily contacted Principal Madelyn Ball and asked if they could present something to the school about pro-life (preferably without the pictures).  The protestors didn’t need to go and do something that drastic.

The thing that bothered me the most was many young children saw those signs out front of our school. It wasn’t just teenagers and their parents. People of all ages shouldn’t have to look at things like that, especially children.

Another thing that bothered me was that I received many comments from high school students that don’t go to JC.  They wondered why JC would put up pictures like that outside of our school.  They assumed that we had something to do with that.

Many high schools have bad reputations for being a big drinking school or a big drug school, but no school wants a bad reputation for being a gross and disgusting school that posts pictures of bloody fetuses outside of their campus.

JC is a Catholic school, and we are already pro-life.  We already agree with their beliefs. The abortion protesters are preaching to the choir.
