The lack of pro-choice really only suggests that those against it are in a distinct minority here (as the article points out). The pro-lifers feel they have a fight to take on whereas pro-choicers have nothing to demonstrate about; their point was made and enshrined in law several years ago.

It seems from the article that like any other group trying to inspire societal change, the SSFL are trying to make a point that Roe v. Wade is a court case not enshrined in law but rather in blatant violation of it. Just because the Supreme Court sets precedent and makes a ruling does not mean that that law has to be held as incontestable. For contesting the decision of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton using strong logical, scientific and legal evidence, I have to give credit to SSFL.

I was at the pro-choice counter-demonstration and the daily absolutely misquoted what the foreign students said. My colleague from Greece said, "In Greece we seperate Church and State... I don't understand why there is such a problem here in America." He absolutely understood what Roe v. Wade meant, as he is very active in political discourse on campus and identifies himself as pro-choice. That the daily could so blatantly misquote a Stanford student is offensive. We are bright enough that our ideas should be heard and faithfully reproduced by our campus press, not distorted to meet a student journalist's personal politics.
