As a pro-choice woman, I have a few comments to make regarding the display by Justice for All in front of Ortega Hall.
Like many students at UNM, my Monday morning was greeted with a flagrantly disgusting series of images depicting abortion outside of Mitchell Hall. As for shock value, these people have certainly done their job well.
The look on my 2-year-old son's face when he sees a baby on TV or out in the world is really something to behold, as he delightedly points and yells "Baby!" Monday he and I were rolling around campus as usual. We got breadsticks at the Pizza Hut stand, then came out under Ortega Hall, heading for the library.
San Francisco native Tommy Guerrero has returned from skateboarding and relative obscurity with this year's offering of Junk Collector. Guerrero, who became a poster child for Powell Peralta in 1985 when he began his professional skateboarding career, eventually became a member of the Bones Brigade - a sort of a mid to late '80s skateboarding dream team - and was cast in vintage skate films such as "The Search for Animal Chin."

The long saga of campaign finance reform reached a turning point very early last Thursday as members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted 240 to 189 in favor of the Shays-Meehan Bill.

A 40-foot long, 18-foot tall display featuring pictures of aborted fetuses brought screams and jeers, as well as calm debate and support from passers-by to the traveling exhibit erected by anti-abortion group, Justice for All, Inc.

Controversy has found its home at UNM more than usual this academic year, and things are about to get interesting again this week.
As a student at UNM and an intern at New Mexico's chapter of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, the political arm of the pro-choice movement, I am writing to encourage students and faculty to protest the anti-choice exhibit that will be on campus from Feb. 18-21.
