Abortion changes lives for the worse

By Caroline Pilgrim | Apr. 13, 2011

I wanted to respond to the Alligator’s April 10 article on the abortion rights event at the Civic Center because on April 7, I hosted a campus event with UF’s Pro-Life Alliance in the Reitz Colonnade for Floridian women who regretted their abortion, an event called “Silent No More,” which WCJB TV-20 News featured on the 6 o’clock news. This event, juxtaposed with the women Saturday, significantly enlightens the personal repercussions of post-abortion.

UF community shouldn’t support Chick-Fil-A

By Megan “Chase” Bissell | Apr. 12, 2011

I am an angry lesbian. UF would like to foster “a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere” for new and old students alike. As an institution, we take great pride in the numerous multicultural organizations on our campus as well as the diversity and uniqueness of individual students and faculty. We have programs such as Pride Organization and Friends to bring together gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies on campus. I am pleased that UF conveys this accepting environment but am surprised by its inaction. For the past few months, one of our restaurants on campus has been embroiled in controversy over their statements and monetary donations to anti-gay organizations. Chick-fil-A used its charitable arm, The Winshape Foundation, to donate more than a million dollars to anti-gay political organizations.
