U of M display Claims, "Abortion is a Gift From God". Let's Call Them Out!

Attention Pro-Life Friends!

By now I’m sure you have heard about the U of M art exhibit which claims that “Abortion is a Gift From God”. The University of Michigan webpage, http://www.4000yearsforchoice.com/ describes the exhibit this way, “4000 Years for Choice develops visual narratives about the practices of contraception and abortion from around the world for the past 4000 years. The project hopes to celebrate, inspire, and empower women and men in their reproductive lives.” The Women’s Studies Department and the Institute For Research on Women and Gender are hosting the exhibit in Lane Hall, 204 S. State Street, Ann Arbor, MI 

Let’s call the University of Michigan out on this. I have compiled a list of efforts others are taking regarding this topic. Please, please, please read this list over and see how you can make your voice heard. As the most popular quotation of modern times goes, “The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing”.  Spread the word, far and wide, inform yourself and your friends, because at the very least, our tax dollars are funding this!

The following is a portion of a recent letter from Kristan Hawkins, President, Students For Life of America! The University is currently sponsoring a pro-abortion "art" display called 4000 Years of Choice, which declares “Abortion as a Blessing” and a “gift from God.” This directly counters the truth put forth in SFLA’s display which tells the stories of women like Jennifer Morbelli, Karnamaya Mongar, Tonya Reaves, and Marla Cardamone who were killed through legal abortion.

Just to be certain that the display was in fact publicly funded through taxpayer dollars, our team called the university’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG), the host and co-sponsor of this display, along with the UM’s Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. After talking with them, it was discovered that the University of Michigan paid $1,000 to have artist, Heather Ault, come onto campus to give a lecture, as a part of that lecture she put up her “art display.” On the phone, a representative for the school told us, “Contrary to what they are saying this display is not about pro-choice or even pro-abortion. This is about the history of women learning to control their reproductive system. Heather is trying to get past the hanger and the idea of back alley dirty abortions and celebrate the ways women, and men for that matter, can control their reproductive system through birth control and even by aborting a fetus.”

What???

While Heather Ault is trying to portray herself as an abortion historian, the truth is that she is radical, abortion activist, and the University of Michigan has funded her message through taxpayer money. Take a look at her “art” and decide for yourself whether or not her display is not pro-abortion.

Abortion is never safe for women, legal or illegal, and for the University of Michigan to have the audacity to use taxpayer dollars and a taxpayer-funded building to push forth an agenda and human rights violation that the majority of Americans oppose is disgusting. 

Can you?

1) Call the University of Michigan President, Mary Sue Coleman, at 734-764-6270 or email her at presoff@umich.edu and demand that she sees that this display is taken down, that all taxpayer money is returned for this event and display, and that never again will UM align themselves so closely with abortion as to allow public funds to be invested in a flagrant agenda to support and promote abortion.

It is an outrage for the University of Michigan to endorse this anti-human rights message that “abortion is a gift from God” and that it is “a blessing.” I hope you can join us to get the university to take down this horrific display and help us reach thousands more of students with our message of truth and hope.

For Life,

Kristan Hawkins
President, Students for Life of America

Here is a great example!

Dear President Mary Sue Coleman,

Never in the history of civilization have people proudly and publicly proclaimed the killing of innocent children, whether before or after birth.

It is a shameful reflection on the women's curriculum in our public tax-supported university that it is being done at the exhibit "4,000 years for choice."  http://www.lsa.umich.edu/women/resources/exhibitspace

Abortion is NEVER life sustaining.  Abortion is a selfish action.  It destroys the natural generosity of women.  Women have been uniquely designed by the Creator to conceive, carry and protect new life within their very body.  Double speak does not change the reality.

How offensive this is to the women suffering from post-abortion stress syndrome.  They are the ones who accepted the lie that sex is recreational and abortion is a solution to an untimely pregnancy.  These are distortions of the feminine human nature which understands that the sexual union is an expression of love and seeks to protect the innocent child.

There is no freedom in accepting the lie that women and men are the same.  We have equal dignity, but not only are we different physically, but emotionally and psychologically.  Men and women are complementary and a genuine academic women's program would acknowledge the differences and take pride in the particularly feminine characteristics of the female nature. Consider the works of John Paul II and Dr. Alice von Hildebrand.

Tax-payers deserve an apology and to have the funds that went toward this insulting display repaid with reparations made through presentations of equal authority on the value and contributions of (most) women toward the continuation and nurturing of human life.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Deborah Bloomfield
