Winthrop University’s Socialist Student Union stuck wire hangers into the ground on a main campus lawn as part of a display ridiculing pro-life advocates’ efforts of putting up flags to represent unborn children who have been aborted.

Additionally, the SSU’s stunt was part of a promotion for an event where students will receive a “Cultural Event Credit” from the university, a requirement for the South Carolina college. Students need to attend three such events for every 20 hours’ worth of credits.

The event, which is called “Abortion 360,” is also a counter to the College Republican’s week-long efforts marking the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, including putting up the flags as well as showing documentaries about the negative impact of the Supreme Court’s decision. Over the course of the week, the students’ flags and signs were stolen.

A couple of months ago, Kevin addressed the “pure myth” of coat hangers being used for abortions on a mass scale prior to Roe. Be sure to check it out here.
