Pro-choice students protest outside of Charmar
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on a pro-choice student protest outside Charles Street Market after a decision on Voice for Life’s group status.
- The paper reported that students protested the SGA Judiciary’s decision to grant Voice for Life official group status.
- The article says Caitlin Fuchs-Rosner and Sophie Grossman exposed their torsos, writing “Your Body, Your Choice” on their fronts and “JHU steps on women for $” on their backs.
- Fuchs-Rosner told the reporter, “The idea is that our bodies are not objects of deliberation, but that we can do what we want with them,” and called it “a sensational way to convey that idea.”
- Grossman said the students wanted to show that pro-choice students were present on campus and supported the right to choose whether, when and how to have a baby.
- The reporter writes that the students objected to VFL’s proposed activities, including what Fuchs-Rosner described as potentially triggering tactics, and that they handed out condoms to promote birth control.
