Surprise, Mom: I'm Anti-Abortion
"I was shocked that there were that many students who felt strong enough and confident enough to speak about being pro-life," said Nina Verin, a parent of another student in the class (whose oral argument was about war in Iraq). "The people I associate with in town are pro-choice, so I'm troubled — where do these kids come from?"

Die-In Dies Out: An antiwar-protest movement falls flat on opening day
A few supporters of the war, many on their way to work, tried to argue with the anti-warriors. Some staged spontaneous counter-protests. One man held a makeshift sign that read "Saddam Sez: Thanks, Suckers!" He yelled at the protesters, "You are aiding and abetting Saddam Hussein!" Visibly upset, one dred-locked girl said, "That's too provocative." Asked if the protesters themselves were being provocative, she said, "He has a right, but we're the majority, and the majority here is provoking a different vibration than that man is."
