Pro-Life Display on the Arts Quad

If you walk along the path that crosses the Arts Quad from the libraries to between Lincoln and Goldwin Smith Halls, you will notice there are six small posters attached to stakes anchored in the ground.

The posters, clearly made by a pro-life organization, contain images of zygotes and fetuses and are accompanied by text about the image. For instance, the first one walking from the libraries is a picture of a zygote with words next to it that state:

"Hi I am Elena! Watch me grow!! I might be just 30 hours old, but I already have 46 of what my doctors call chromosomes making up my special DNA! A person's a person, no matter how small."

Curiously, while one would expect these to be attributed to a Cornell pro-life group they are actually all cited on the posters as being "Approved by Harvard Right to Life."
