If you have been walking the campus, you've probably noticed or heard the voice of a proud anti-abortion advocate.

Neal Horsely, a Carrollton native, spoke Thursday at the UCC on where he stands on abortion. He appeared passionate and boisterous about the subject and referred to himself as one of the most hated abolitionists in the country.

Horsely stood strong next to a disturbing image of a fetus. The detailed photograph showed a developing head of a baby covered with blood completely detached from its body, being carried away for disposal by forceps.

While pointing at the bodiless head of the infant, Horsely stated, "That's a human being; like you are human being!"

Horsely wants to run for governor of Georgia, and his purpose is pretty clear. His first mission as governor would be to use his authority to send state forces to clinics and shut them down.

Horsley explained that his reasoning come from his religious beliefs. He believes that a woman's pregnancy is a gift from God and that no one has a right to say whether that child should live or die. According to Horsely, the body being victimized in the picture is indeed a human being.

The hopeful politician compares the practice of abortion to slavery. Horsley spoke of the historic 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford case in which slave, Dred Scott, unsuccessfully sued for his freedom. The ruling of this case ultimately upset northern Republicans and further split northern and southern relations. The north protected the slaves from the disturbed south. Horsely quoted, "I will do the same for unborns that the north did for slaves. Nobody else is advocating that."

The hopeful candidate did not speak on other issues affecting the state or his plans on correcting necessary state obligations. For further information about Horsely or anti-abortion visit the websites www.christiangallery.com or www.TCRP.us.
