Graphic images hit campus
AS club brings abortion photos to Red Square today
BECKIE ROSILLO / THE WESTERN FRONT

The Western Front
Posters containing graphic
pictures of Holocaust victims,
lynchings and aborted fetuses
will fill Red Square today and
tomorrow.
These images are part of the
Genocide Awareness Project, a
campaign in which volunteers,
including Western students, will
hold 24 different 4-foot by 8-foot
signs to protest abortion.
The Center for Bioethical
Reform is an anti-abortion
nonprofit organization based
in Lake Forest, Calif. It is
organizing the campaign,
said Don Cooper director of
Northwest operations for the
center, located in Vancouver,
Wash.
"The purpose of the project is
to stimulate discussion and in a
sense, unsettle students to think
about abortion and to discuss the
parallels that abortion, as it is
practiced today, has with other
historic forms of genocide,"
Cooper said.
Western senior Tom Herring,
president of Western For Life,
an anti-abortion Associated
Students club, invited the group
to campus.
He said the graphic images
will make students think about
abortion, what it does to the
unborn fetus and what the
students will do if they are faced
with an unwanted pregnancy.
"For the sake of the whole
campus, it's necessary to expose
the reality, the truth behind this,"
Herring said. "You never see
images of (abortions). They're
graphic, they're horrific, but
they're necessary to awaken the
minds of some people who view
this as 'choice.'"
The center started the nationwide
Genocide Awareness
Project in 1998 and has shown
similar images at more than
60 universities in the United
see FETUS, page 3
Western men go extra mile for women
BY PAGE BUONO
The Western Front
Black stilettos, blue and green striped
heels and bright flip-flops, adorned the feet
of approximately 30 men as they walked
from the Performing Arts Center to the
Boundary Bay Brewery and Bistro on
Railroad Avenue for the first annual Walk
a Mile In Her Shoes march on Saturday
morning.
Associated Students club Western Men
Against Violence organized the march to
support the women who participated in
Take Back The Night, an annual women's
march symbolizing women's fight for
freedom from fear of violence on dark
streets, on Friday.
"I walked for my mother and my little
sister," said Brian Pahl, director of Western
Men Against Violence. "I walked for the
women in my life who have experienced
sexual assault and for the women in my life
who live in fear."
Club member Josh O'Donnell spoke
about his experience with domestic
violence and sexual assault before the
march. He said he regrets not knowing
earlier how to make a positive difference
in the lives of women these issues have
affected.
Resident director of Beta/Gamma,
Michael Charbonneau, walked from San

Francisco to Washington D.C. with three
other men in 2001 to bring attention to
issues of rape and domestic violence.
Because of his experience, he said he was
comfortable marching Saturday, except for
the shoes.
"The biggest difference is that we
walked in normal, comfortable shoes,"
Charbonneau said.
The march allowed the men to show a
different side of what it means to be a man.
"Being a man, and being powerful
means having the courage to be vulnerable,"
said Andrew Bruch, Western senior and
club member. "And by vulnerable I don't
mean being weak, but understanding the
constrictions of masculinity and being
confident enough to work past them."
