A reader sent the link to this McGill piece. The author is against graphic images–fine, some of the women on this team are, too. He’s also against the rather soft-spoken women of Silent No More, standing with images that say “I regret my abortion.”
Fohl’s professed love for dialogue is bizarre, since for a brief period this year, it seemed that Choose Life’s tactics had destroyed any hope of a meaningful discussion of reproductive rights on campus. When you confront a woman with a sign reading, “I regret my abortion,” for instance, you cannot expect students to eagerly engage in dialogue.
One is left with the distinct impression that the author wants women–only pro-life women, though–to go and “dialogue” in a dark closet somewhere, by themselves. Talk about a wimp. If you can’t handle a gentle woman holding a sign, you’ve got a problem and should probably get some help. Just by the by, this is precisely the sort of person I warn women against dating: in a crisis pregnancy he’ll smile and nod and say–it’s your choice, honey. (Now I’m gonna get a beer and watch the playoffs.)

Mr. Davis seems to missing the point. As Fohl was quoted there, “If I were to get pregnant, randomly, unexpectedly…that would be my school career, all of my plans, out the window.” She acknowledges the reasons women have abortions, that ‘better life’ they envision that supports their decision to abort their child. What the Silent No More women are doing, is making us, not just women thinking about abortion but all of us, aware that a ‘better life’ and ‘success’ are not simply things achieved by childless women with degrees. That having an abortion hinders your ability to love your life, that the guilt will be there regardless of whether or not Silent No More is around. The logic seems to be, how dare we make women feel guilty for thinking about or having abortions. Here, I’d like to quote Susan B. Anthony, “Guilty? Yes, no matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh! thrice guilty is he who, for selfish gratification, heedless of her prayers, indifferent to her fate, drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime.” Oh Mr. Davis, how indifferent you are.
