Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug 11, 2006 / 12:00 am (CNA).- A group of 30 feminists led a march to the Catholic University of La Plata on Tuesday attacking it’s rector for offering to adopt a baby who was saved from abortion last week.

The march was the latest chapter in the case of a mentally handicapped woman who became pregnant supposedly through rape and whose parents asked the courts to allow her to obtain an abortion.  After lower courts ruled against them, the Supreme Court of the Buenos Aires province granted the parents’ request.  During the court hearings, several individuals offered to adopt the baby, including the rector of the Catholic University of La Plata, Ricardo de la Torre, who spoke out in defense of both the life of the baby and the mother.

The 30 feminists met on Tuesday at the Cathedral in La Plata and marched toward the university campus, where they shouted insults at the rector, distributed pamphlets and even painted graffiti on buildings used by the Department of Law.  Fences were later put up around the Cathedral and its rectory in order to keep them from painting graffiti there as well.

A large group of students staged a counter protest by praying the rosary, Emilio Nazar Kasbo, a La Plata lawyer told CNA.  

Pamphlets distributed by the women echoed the pro-abortion slogans made popular by pro-abortion forces in the US, such as, “Get your rosaries off our ovaries.”  Although the leaflets listed a number of organizations as participants in the protest, only some 30 activists participated in the march.  

“These people are intent on imposing their ideas or combating those of other people by force or through fear,” Nazar said.  “All this was on display at the campus, where in addition (to their vocal protests) they committed the crime of damaging private property by painting graffiti on the walls of the university.”

I recognize that this thread has been dead for a couple of years, but I felt the need to say this.
I am a feminist. I believe in a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices. I also believe in reducing the need for abortions in the first place, through the use of contraceptives AND through helping mothers who want to keep their children or give them up for adoption but feel,for one reason or another that they cannot. Abortions, in my opinion, should be safe, legal, and rare. I am so happy that the rector was willing to adopt the baby.

"It is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." Mt. 18:14

Praise be to God that there is someone on earth who is not just a hearer of the word but a doer of the word.

Feminists, your words, your actions, betray you for the hypocrites you are!

Let us pray for the day when all children are welcome in this world and when femininity means acceptance of the loving, maternal, welcoming role of a true woman.

One of the arguments of the pro-abortion forces is: "Are you willing to adopt the baby?" In this case we see that the answer is "Yes!" And still the pro-abortion people are not satisified.

The feminist position is clear. There is no Choice in their so called pro choice stance if the choice indicates life for the unborn. Even when there is a line of people waiting to adopt the unwanted child, death is the only acceptable choice to the culture of death crowd that the radical feminists will represent. Human sacrifice is the sacrament of the religion of liberalism. God Help us. Our Lady of Guadalupe, help us end human sacrifice in abortion as you ended the human slaughter of the innocents in Mexico so many years ago.

Me duele el corazón, como católica que soy, conocer que mujeres "feministas" agredan a un hombre (el rector de la Universidad Católica) que tiene la sana intención de salvar la vida de una criatura inocente. Esta acción lejos de perjudicar a nadie debería ser ejemplo para todos los que somos a veces sólo meros expectadores del mal que se comete en el mundo. La frase "Get your rosaries off our ovaries" es ofensiva. Pero eso es lo que ellas pretenden. ¡Qué pena que estas mujeres no se den cuenta que existe una línea entre "ser feminista" y "ser femenina". Están rechazando la grandeza de su ser de ser mujeres, en toda la grandeza y el esplendor de la palabra, y están optando por un sexo que no existe ya que tampoco son hombres! ¿Qué son? ..... Cuando tocamos los peligrosos extremos de una posición, corremos el riesgo de volvernos una deformación... esto, en mi manera de ver las cosas, aplica por lo menos en este caso de las mujeres "feministas", que no quieren ser mujeres pero tampoco hombres.
