Johns Hopkins Reverses Decision Banning Pro-Life Display

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Johns Hopkins has announced they are reversing a decision that banned a pro-life display from campus.

The display, which had been part of the university’s “Spring Fair” for 30 years, was initially banned until a call from Fox News to the school asking why the JHU Voice for Life student group was denied a chance to post the display.

The group’s display, which shows unborn children in various stages of development, was called “disturbing” by a student committee.

“We’ve reviewed your pictures with our advisers and have determined that your display contains triggering and disturbing images and content,” read an email the committee sent to JHU Voice for Life.

Andrew Guernsey, president of the pro-life group, told Fox News that abortion is disturbing and that’s the reason they need to post the display.  He also pointed out that it was odd a school that’s famous for medicine would be calling the display offensive.

“I certainly find it ironic that a university that has dedicated itself to the advancement of medicine and biology would find displaying medically accurate fetal models disturbing and offensive,” Guernsey said.

The committee responded to Fox News’ inquiry by stating “We… were wrong in our initial decision and, upon further reflection, have decided we will not impose restrictions on the displays presented by any community groups at Spring Fair… The committee values free speech.”

  1. The Pro Life display will save lives of our unborn children. We have to make a stand as Christians to what it right and true.
