Placing balloons under their shirts, students duel using a plastic fork to “abort” the ‘baby’. The crowd gets into the frenzy with one onlooker urging, “Kill that baby, kill that baby!”

‘Abortion Battles’ Video Shows New York College Students Pretending They’re Killing Unborn Fetuses

“Ready, set, go,” she says, and the showdown begins. The faux-pregnant students try to pop one another’s balloons with plastic eating utensils in a crude mockery of abortion.

One student loses, garnering hysterical laughter from students, and the game resets with new contenders.

“Ready, set, battle,” the girl says, and the revelry starts all over again.

“Kill that baby, yo, kill that baby. Kill that baby,” a student, who appears to be taking the video, yells as the students fight one another again.

A Hunter College spokeswoman told the New York Post, which was the first news outlet to report on the controversial video, that the “Abortion Battles” episode was not sanctioned by the school and that its dean of students will investigate the incident.

“It seems to have been something spontaneous that took place in the cafeteria,” the spokeswoman told the newspaper.

The video has been removed from YouTube, but the New York Post obtained it. Various websites have substituted an abbreviated version so at some point in time the following link may not work.

I found it very disturbing.



What next for amusement, Christians and lions?

    Please, Pat_S, don’t give them any ideas!

    Hunter College was once an excellent college. *This* is what “open enrollment” has wrought.

    This is America? I’m speechless. This is disturbing on so many levels, and yet it speaks volumes as to where our Nation is culturally. That is, what our young people find amusing, and what’s going on in our Universities.

    This is a different America from when many of us grew up.

    These youngsters are planting the seeds of bitterness and sorrow. They will reap a bitter harvest later in their lives as they will learn.

    Okay, it’s like watching a train wreck. I looked at it again because I thought I heard a young girl say, “Why would you even want to do that?” but she was drowned out by the noise and spectacle of it all. Also, I think they had two guys do it because the effect is less sobering, or less real than having two girls do it. In other words, it’s “just a game” to the guys. I’m hopeful that if it were two girls trying to “kill each other’s babies”, it wouldn’t have been so much fun. Keep hope alive!

    Trans: D*mn it, who taped that? Must've been a conservative. Punish! Punish! Punish the taper!

    Sanctioning the activity would not have made it right. Not sanctioning it, doesn’t make it wrong. It’s wrong because it’s amoral. ‘Legality’ of sanctioned by school has nothing to do with it.

    In 40 years people have transformed their minds to accept things that 40 years ago they would have been horrified to beleve. Today “fun” means aything you want it to be even at the price of “destroying life”.

    If anyone doubts there is real evil among us, you can’t find a much better example than this. sad & sick. these young women have been sold a bill of goods that will harm them forever, even if they don’t kill their children.
