Three pro-abortion students interrupted a Students for Life meeting at the University of Alaska- Fairbanks to accuse the chapter of “endangering others”, a video obtained by Campus Reform shows.

“We just came here as advocates about the harm that comes to people because of what pro-lifers do,” one female protester said in the video. The girl also explained that while she did not intend to disrupt the meeting, she did not “feel the need” to explain her stance on abortion to the group.
