There was indeed no discussion at that "teach-in," because RUS adhered strictly to its format, which allowed audience members only to ask the panelists questions, not state contrary views or conflicting facts. Moreover, it is quite strange that, when 80 percent of Americans favor abortion only in the cases of rape, incest and threat to the mother's life, and when more women than men oppose abortion (as Gallup polls have consistently shown over the last 10 years), all three RUS panelists supported abortion-on-demand. Spitzer admits that there is a lack of consensus and disagreement...
...description of the kind of process women choosing to have an abortion go through, or another's recounting of her own shift from an anti-choice to a pro-choice position. Further, Pakaluk states "there was no discussion," attempting. I assume, to characterize the whole event as merely an RUS rally in support of destroying children. Well, there was discussion. People who were decidedly anti-choice attended and spoke their piece, as did others with differing views. The director of Massachusetts Citizens for Life fan anti choice group) was there, and he both praised the speakers and afterwards thanked...
Most importantly, no speaker at any time "openly admitted that an abortion kills a human being, but said that abortion must nonetheless remain legal."

This group is the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS). A week ago RUS sponsored a "teach-in" and "discussion" (but there was no discussion) on abortion, during which the proponents of abortion openly admitted that an abortion kills a human being, but said that abortion must nonetheless remain legal. One woman said "I believe abortion is no different from infanticide. But I'm pro-choice. Women must...
...Republican Club's broadly based membership of two hundred undergraduates. The club is a group on campus supporting mainstream political ideas, apparently far more in touch with the country's convictions than some supposedly objective journalists at Harvard. The Crimson's characterization of my opinions is erroneous, and the RUS is doing a good service in promoting thoughtful discussion of this emotional issue whether or not the so-called "pro-life view is also represented."
