TYT: Anti-Abortion Sign Offends Professor - Did She Go Too Far?



"A pregnant California professor will face charges for allegedly shoving a 16-year-old anti-abortion protestor and stealing another picketer's sign during a campus demonstration earlier this month, a prosecutor said on Friday.

Mireille Miller-Young, an associate professor who teaches feminist studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara, faces misdemeanor charges of theft, battery and vandalism, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley said in a statement.

Miller-Young was seen in a YouTube video viewed nearly 60,000 times clashing with members of the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust group who organized an anti-abortion event on the university campus in early March."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

perhaps a university isn't quite the right place for her.

See the Santa Barbara Independent. The professor was wrong to assault the student, but these students..."Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust"? Can't decide who's dumber here. The right wing students who abuse the word "Holocaust" or the professor for giving the right wing nuts what they expected of "pinko feminists".
