Pro-Life Protests

I'm a transfer student to Manhattan College, last year I went to Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers and I'm still in contact with my friends there. The center of campus was a large open area set up kind of like the Quad here, and there would almost always be groups set up there advertising their clubs and stuff like that. The other day they said that there was a pro-life group set up handing out flyers with pictures of shredded fetuses on them. I'm reasonably sure that that isn't what an aborted pregnancy looks like and it seems ridiculous that people are willing to try and portray it this way so that people will stop having abortions.

SI Swimsuit

The other day we mentioned the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and all of its flaws when it comes to representation of women. Later that day I came across an Instagram post from Kate Upton about a photo a different model had taken, it was Nina Agdal in a shirt that said "A woman doesn't need to be modest in order to be respected". I thought it was an interesting coincidence and attached the link to Kate Upton's post here
