The anti-choice group Center for Bio-Ethical Reform made another splash in the anti-abortion arena, taking their blown up, graphic “fetus” photos to the next stop on their tour — George Mason University.  And, not surprisingly, most of the students found it pretty gross.

Via the Washington Post:

Senior Gabriella Gayl, 22, said, “I understand the message and am pro life. I don’t like the images per se because they make me very sad, although I support the message with the pictures.”

Posters depicting genocide, Nazi and slavery atrocities were also woven into the poster wall.

Members of the student group Patriots for Choice staged a counterprotest to the anti-abortion demonstration near the Johnson Center on the Fairfax campus. (Donna Peterson – Special to The Washington Post) “I don’t think this is the place to be showing that. I think its images are too graphic for the setting; don’t like the comparisons to the lynchings, either,” said Brandon Williams, a 22-year-old Mason student.

The Center is well known for their “fetus photos,” and claim their “authenticity,” but many have been shown to be doctored, misdated, or just outright fakes.
