A pro-life activist found herself the target of loud, accusatory chants by a group of pro-life protesters last week, who dubbed her a “racist” and “sexist” for not supporting a woman’s right to choose.
Intersectional feminist club “The Women’s Collective” gathered at the University of Sydney Thursday, May 17, to protest a talk by Life Choice Australia director Rebecca Gosper titled, “Abortion: The Exploitation of Women,” The Daily Wire reported.
Footage of the campus protest shows the band of feminists shouting chants and waving signs in an effort to make their message loud and clear outside the anti-abortion event. Some of the participants even passed out free condoms while they criticized “oppressive” pro-life laws.
“Pro-life your name’s a lie, you don’t care if women die,” they chanted repeatedly.
Protesters soon turned their attention to a Black pro-life activist named A.J. who confronted the group over its chant labeling anti-abortionists as “racist, sexist and anti-gay.”
“How’s that racist?” A.J. asks as the chants grow louder and the group’s ringleader, Lily Rosebell, shoves a bullhorn in the medical student’s face. “How are they racist?” she asks again. “… Is this really civil?”
“Well I would like to argue that denying women abortion rights and arguing that gay people should go through conversion therapy [is] outright discrimination and oppression,” Rosebell responded. “This is the end of Life Choice, and we say that you people are not welcome on campus.”
“Yeah you are racist, and yeah you are sexist, and yeah you are anti-gay!” she continued.
A.J. then pointed out her race, asking, “You realize I’m Black right? How can I be racist against myself? The question left Rosebell dumbfounded as she slowly walked away and pretended to ignore A.J.’s objections.
A.J., who studies medical science at the university, said she simply wanted to ask a few questions about claims purported by the group that abortions aren’t harmful to a mother or her baby.
