The concepts of pro-life and pro-choice are routinely placed in opposition to each other, dueling philosophies competing for adherents. Pro-life prioritizes the protection of innocent human life above other claims; pro-choice demands individual autonomy above all else. In brief form, that sums up each position.
For obvious reasons, the political tension between the two is rarely minimized. Today, marks one such rare moment when pro-life activism also promotes genuine choice for the vast majority of citizens.
AMHERST — Days after left-wing activists apparently plastered the windows where student Republicans at Amherst College were holding the year's first meeting with fliers denouncing the Ku Klux Klan, campus progressives upped the ante in their quest for social justice, in the form of a banner denouncing America on the 16th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The banner-hangers have not made themselves known, but the president of the Amherst College Democrats, a student organization, told the Boston Herald that the banner constitutes a "more comprehensive understanding of the tragedy of that day."
