Service Learning-GAP Protest

On Feb 17 and Feb 18 VOX (Voices of Planned Parenthood) did a peaceful protest against GAP (Genocide Awareness Project). GAP compares abortion to genocide and had 15foot tall signs with graphic pictures of lynching and the holocaust. VOX was there to be a resource for students who were upset by these images (most students were upset.) We were also there to fight for women's rights to have control over their own bodies. We held signs that said things like Trust Women and Stand up for Choice. At one point we were getting yelled at by a man with a bible and he was calling us murderers. I don't think that claiming my body as my own and making decisions for my own life makes me a murderer.
