After three years at Penn State, I have become accustomed to the frequent protests and preachings on campus. However, walking by the HUB and having huge posters of "aborted fetuses" every five feet and a clearly displayed swastika is not my idea of free speech. These images were not only extremely offensive, but also the pictures supposedly representing aborted fetuses were misleading. These pictures were clearly of developed babies that were from a miscarriage, stillbirth, or some other tragic circumstance.

I respect the right to free speech entitled by the First Amendment; however, I also believe in common courtesy and respect. If you have something to say, say it. Just don't force students to walk past the images of dead babies. Next time there is an abortion protest, I'd prefer accuracy and common respect.
