Episode 007: Abortion advocates tear down pro-life crosses and signs, get arrested
On Monday, October 3, the Students for Life group at the University at Buffalo set up a Cemetery of the Innocents display to emphasize the number of lives lost to abortion. There were three separate acts of vandalism that hit the display from University students and a number of people they believe were faculty members or staffers.
Erik interviews Sara Buttitta (President of the University at Buffalo Students for Life group and one of Students for Life’s Wilberforce Fellows this year) about this story. According to her, a pro-abortion group has formed on campus in response to these attacks.
