"I was fortunate to be able to listen in on your responses to questions and arguements at the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis this afternoon. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you...You had valid, appropriate, and unshakable answers to every question thrown at you. It seems to me that it would take a lot of courage to stand up to those very passionate people grilling you today...It's wonderful to know that there are people like you who are willing to put your beliefs out there on the line. "
--T. H.; Oregon State University, Student
"I found your tasteless display at the University of Washington's Red Square offensive and inappropriate.... I admire your gall to display such photographs, and the effect was probably what you desired, but most people are educated enough to tell the difference between fact and fiction."
--G. W.; University of Washington
"Two weeks after you left the University of Tennessee, a total of twenty-six girls have come into our office to have a pregnancy test. Of the twenty-six, we are sure that five of the girls were pro-abortion and changed their minds as a result of your display. They were fussing about the vivid pictures, but admitted that these pictures had changed their minds about abortion. Three other girls were undecided about what their decision would be until we offered our alternative. All three are pregnant and will parent their babies. Fifteen of the twenty-six clients who tested positive are in weekly counseling sessions with us. All of the positive tests have return appointments."
--Pat Job; Pregnancy Support Center (Knoxville, TN)
"Have any of you eaten any eggs during the past couple few days, or any foods containing eggs? If so, you too are an abortionist. Your ignorant and vicious campaign is on display beneath my window. Grow up -- superstition is controlling your brains. Learn to think."
--J. G.; Wright State University, Student
"I am very appreciative of the efforts of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform organization handing out painfully truthful pamphlets to who ever would be interested. I am encouraged by these volunteers who tried their very best to speak the truth to an indifferent and uncaring public. I was able retrieve one of the pamphlets dealing with the rationale for the genocide awareness project, which I thought was an [impressive] piece of literature. Keep up the good and caring work."
--D. B.; Wright State University, Student
"I sincerely hope that someone in your immediate family gets raped by an ex-con who has aids and is a methanphedamine addict who is a product of incest. I hope her choice, which she still has I might add, will not upset you. And, when this happens I will not send you pictures of your unborn relatives fetus, I will commend her ability to realize that some lives were not meant to happen. please do not reply, for your words are that of true ignorance."
--Student; University of Oregon
"I never pictured abortion being like that, I couldn't believe (and even thought at first that that the pictures must be fake) that it was true. I had read the methods of abortion in many books. I had studied biology and general anatomy (since my major was originally pre-med) but I never pictured abortion being like these pictures. No wonder the books I read didn't have any pictures. Hearing Gregg and being involved during the week definitely changed me. I'm very grateful to God for opening my eyes and for you guys taking the time to come here and make a difference."
--S. F.; Penn State University, Student
"Thanks so much for coming to Miami University. You have the whole campus talking! The effect you had may never be known, but be assured that God will reward the side of good in the end. All we can do is try our best. That is what you are doing."
--S. W.; Miami University, Student
"I was appalled and physically ill, at the audacity these 'demonstrators' had to use the Red Square area for their demonstration. I do not feel it is their right to inflict their beliefs or opinions on me. I, in turn feel as though MY rights (to not be exposed to such graphic media) were violated! If I, or anywone else, CHOOSE to view this type of display, then make a time and date, and then let those people go there and view it!"
--W. B.; University of Washington
"I wanted to let you know that we had a client come to us 3/27/98 for a pregnancy test. Her test was positive and she was leaning toward aborting her child because she was afraid pregnancy would destroy the relationship she had with the baby's father. On 4/14/98 when we called to check on her she said she had decided to carry her child. Many months later she told me that she had seen the GAP display on campus during the time she was deciding whether or not to carry her child. She said the pictures had a profound impact on her. She received cooperation from faculty to accelerate classes and her baby boy was born in December."
--Carol Phillips; Director: Centre Region Crisis Pregnancy Center (State College, PA)
"I know I could never have an abortion; I think that it is wrong. But it is not up to the government to decide what is right or wrong. Do morals dictate the law, or does the law dictate morals? I cannot answer that question for you, but I can say that having a choice is morally right. Don't all you church people say that God gave you free agency to do what is right? The government has a responsibility to give us a choice, and if they fail to give us that choice, they have failed as a government and all justice will be lost."
--K. M.; University of Idaho
"This is mind blowing, it looks like a baby. I've never seen abortion . . . . I think it's time to reconsider how I think."
--R. K.; Penn State University, Student
"Whoever these people are, they should be shot for bad taste. They do a grave disservice not only to those who have died, but also to themselves. First off, yes I am pro-choice, and the answer of why is quite simple: It embodies the most important idea that this nation was founded on, the idea of popular choice. The overwhelming majority of people in this country are supporters in some way, shape or form of abortion. To take that one step further, the main question on the minds of pro-choice activists is whether or not the government should have the power to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies. Anti-abortion activists have adopted this insane notion that they are so holy, so pure and so good that they have the right to tell people how to live their lives. These demented, holier than thou freaks do not respect the notion that I and I alone can determine the appropriate way of running my life."
--B. B.; Florida International University
"In this cynical and depraved world that people my age have had to grow up in, it is a breath of fresh air to finally hear someone stand up [against] the atrocities committed against human beings, particularly unborn children."
--Student; University of South Florida
