Via Campus Reform:

Marquette’s feminism club has now publicly condemned Thursday’s pro-life display at the Catholic institution as “damaging to the mental health of students” and an act of “public shaming.”

The “Marquette Empowerment” student group—which “strives to maintain an environment in which each individual opinion is valued”—slammed the pro-life display as a means of “stigmatizing abortion” in a letter Sunday, though the statement also offered a half hearted condemnation of students who vandalized the display with pro-abortion literature.

“The ‘Memorial of the Unborn’ is a display which directly undermines this healing by further stigmatizing abortion,” the letter states. “Rather than fostering discussion and understanding, the display is damaging to the mental health of students and a disturbing act of public shaming.”

As Campus Reform initially reported, the annual pro-life display put on by “Marquette for Life” was vandalized and defaced, an act which was later celebrated by the school’s College Democrats.

Now, Marquette Empowerment is criticizing the Catholic institution for its stance on abortion, even celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Planned Parenthood in its letter.
