Not everyone hated those abortion pictures
Tuesday's State Press (editorial) claim that the pro-life displays on Hayden Lawn were inappropriate and depicted "the kind of gore only found in B-level horror flicks" is so ironic.
These images aren't from a special effects studio, they are reality. I admit, I had a hard time looking at them, but I'm glad they were there.
It's so typical of us to just ignore something we don't find pleasant and palatable.
Well, abortion's not. And so-called feminists should be ashamed at the practices of organizations like Planned Parenthood, which decided not to inform patients about scientific research connecting abortion to breast cancer because it might "scare" them.
Don't expect such places to touch on how early a fetus develops senses and a human face. Is that what feminism is? Women lying to themselves and each other because they're too weak to take the facts?
Yes, the pictures on display were horrid. But that's all the more reason to pay attention. How long will we turn our backs on this massacre just because it ruins our appetite for cheap MU cuisine?
I'm glad someone is willing to demonstrate the facts.

Nishant does not do cameras justice
In regards to Bhajaria's column in Monday's State Press: There are some aspects as to the effectiveness of speed cameras that I think Nishant may have overlooked.
The only argument against the use of cameras that he presents is that the flash of a camera would distract people.
Having lived in Germany, where the use of speed cameras is normal, I have a few more observations.
Not only does the flash of a camera distract people, but people learn where the cameras are and people simply slow down before they approach the camera.
And finally, many people carry reflective lenses on their license plates, which completely defeats the effectiveness of catching speeders.
