In the past few weeks we’ve written about the vandalism of pro-life displays by supporters of abortion. There was the incident involving a Northern Kentucky University tenured professor who lead her students in what she called was an exercise of "free speech". Local law enforcement disagreed and she, along with her accomplices, are being charged with misdemeanors.
At Princeton University abortion advocates destroyed a pro-life display of 347 flags set-up to remember the estimated number of students that were missing from the student population due to abortion.
Jill Stanek, in a provocative column titled "Vampires on Campus", recalls,
Also in March, Harvard University pro-aborts repeatedly defaced or stole pro-life posters on campus depicting the growth of embryo "Elena." A college newspaper editorial decried the posters, stating they "misrepresent[ed] the pro-choice members of this campus as bloodthirsty baby killers."Yes, and we covered the isolated case of a Canadian pro-lifer who was leveled while protesting across from a notorious abortion mill.
LifeNews now reports more vandalism aimed at silencing pro-lifers, this time at Western Washington University:
The WWU student did $2,700 worth of damages on Tuesday to a pro-life display set up on campus.Read the rest here.David Janus Zhang, who is 21, jumped over a fence surrounding the display to destroy it.
Dave Doughty, assistant chief of the Western Washington University Police Department, told the Bellingham Herald that Zhang then “went on a rampage" tearing and destroying the elaborate display of posters and billboards.
The attacks seem to reflect a frustration among pro-abortion extremists who are seeing a decline in their support base as Americans become increasingly convinced about the humanity of the unborn. Those who cling to shallow, deceptive and intellectually dishonest propositions often resort to using coercive speech or even violence to support their position.
I went to Western Washington university and am currently covering the story on my blog, if anyone is interested.

DEFACED IN DC: While riding in a city bus through a Washington, D.C., suburb late yesterday afternoon, I glanced at the interior advertisement space and noticed that someone had scratched through wording on a pro-life poster and scribbled a pro-abortion message, some drivel about keeping government out of your doctor’s office.
Take a look:
