On April 13th, roughly 3,600 pink and blue flags occupied Copley lawn as part of Georgetown University’s Right to Life flag day. The flags, part of a larger protest against abortion, represented the 3,600 abortions that are performed daily in the United States
Members of Right to Life stood in the rain, handing out flyers to students who passed by. “To us, the flags represent two lives, the life of the woman, which is changed forever, and the life of the child,” said Right to Life President Rebecca Danis (SFS ‘06)
GU Right to Life Flag day is an annual event, and has been going on for several years. Danis said that Flag Day’s main purpose was to foster dialogue between students about abortion. “We really just want to get people to talk about it,” she said.
