Pro-life messages at Eastern Michigan University were marred by swastikas and thrown water this week.

In a press release accompanied by several photos, Students for Life of America says that students at the university promoted life on Sunday night using chalked messages like “Life is precious, let's protect it” and “Women regret abortion.” However, pro-abortion students threw water on at least one of the messages, and drew swastikas next to others.

A spokesperson for SFLA told LifeSiteNews that the pro-abortion students who confronted the pro-lifers also posted a photo of Savita Halappanavar, claiming that Halappanavar's 2012 death was due to the lack of a “life-saving abortion” in Ireland.

However, as LifeSiteNews reported last year, it was a lack of basic care that was responsible for Halappanavar's death, including the lack of a proper antibiotic regimen when she became ill. Halappanavar's death and the subsequent misunderstanding of the cause of death became a flashpoint for supporters of abortion, and was a key component of the ultimately successful effort to loosen Ireland's abortion laws.

“Eastern Michigan Students for Life, through our dedicated leadership team and members, want to change hearts and minds through loving means,” said Rueben Ainley, the club’s vice president.
