ST. LOUIS (LifeSiteNews) — In a widely circulated video, radical pro-abortion feminists can be seen trampling a pro-life memorial at Saint Louis University erected for the unborn victims of abortion.
The memorial for the unborn victims of abortion had been erected by the Catholic school’s Students for Life (SFL). The video shows two young women, who are students at the Jesuit-run institution, kicking, trampling, and pulling up the small flags placed in the shape of a cross in memory of the unborn victims of abortion.
WOW: Feminists at @SLU_Official were caught on camera destroying a conservative group's pro-life memorial.

“You can go to hell,” one of the young women told the man filming the incident, who identified himself as a member of the SFL.
“You can know that you’re a little b—ch,” added the other woman, after the man filming asked for their names and informed them he was going to report the incident to the police.
Following the short, profanity-laced exchange, the women continued to trample over the flags, while bending over to pull them out of the ground and throw them.
The man filming then informs a male passerby that the women are vandalizing the “approved” display, leading the passerby to tell the women, “Can you please just let them have their thing (display)?”
“Why can’t you just leave women alone?” retorted one of the young women.
“It’s a Catholic school!” the passerby replied.
“Imagine if there was a woman walking by, who had an abortion, how do you think she would feel about this?” asked the other woman.
“I’m sure she wouldn’t feel great, but that’s why we need to reach out to them, to help them,” the passerby said calmy, revealing his pro-life beliefs.
The video continues with the women saying that the display is not there to help women, but to “shame” them. The young passerby attempts to explain to the young women that the display is not there to “shame” women, but instead, the display “helps us remember the people who were aborted.”
“The ‘people’ who were aborted, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,” replied one of the young ladies in a mocking tone.
The video ends with the passerby successfully convincing the ladies to leave the display alone, after having destroyed a significant part.
Despite the mockery levied at the pro-life students, abortion does terminate an unborn human life.
The school where which the incident took place, Saint Louis University, is a Catholic institution. The Catholic Church teaches, as affirmed by the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.”
In recent times, the Catholic Church’s strong opposition to abortion has been muddled in the public by various prominent politicians, such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden, who explicitly oppose the Church’s teaching while still labeling themselves Catholic.
