Here's an excerpt:
Johanna Miller, president of LifeLine, could not contain her excitement when she spoke to LifeSiteNews later in the evening. “From the responses of the students it was obvious that many had never been exposed to the pro-life message before,” effused Johanna.
“Our intent was to give students the chance to see and hear the truth, and it worked, because many students came by and said that throughout the entire campus, even in classes, everyone was talking about abortion. Apathy was everywhere on campus before, but this has really shaken people up.”
A counter-protest formed within half an hour of the display being erected, but Johanna reports that this actually helped their cause. “The protestors actually got people talking. Students were going back and forth between the two groups asking questions and seeking out counter-arguments.”
Johanna was relieved that the protest did not result in any physical confrontation. In fact, the pro-abortion protestors came to the pro-life students at the end of the day and thanked them for being so peaceful, and they even shared hot chocolate together.

I think that it was amazing that at the end of the day the two sides were able to come together. The more productive conversation there is the better for the pro-life cause.
I agree. I think finding a way to dialogue is good to inform more people about the truth. I couldn't help but laugh as well upon reading what the writer included at the end (about the detail on both sides enjoying hot chocolate together). =)
Come back again soon, smartblkwoman! I love your blog. =)
