Pro-life students who traveled to Texas during the recent abortion debate in Austin were booted from a YMCA there when pro-abortion customers complained.?
The 56 students, part of the Students for Life organization, were using the YMCA to take showers at night.
Students for Life spokesperson Alexa Coombs says YMCA reported to the student group that pro-abortion supporters had confronted staff about the students, and the staff felt threatened by the complaints.
?And they asked us not to return because the staff was pretty much bullied into denying us showers,? she tells OneNewsNow.
Word got out, and the YMCA was inundated with calls, creating a public relations nightmare.
?And they put out a press release pretty much blaming us, saying that we were creating a disruptive atmosphere and engaging in political debate, and that couldn't be further from the truth,? says Coombs. ?Our students were very quiet, non-confrontational. I don't even think that they talked to anybody there.?
The press release from the Town Lake YMCA claims the facility was accommodating Students for Life until that allowance ?caused the political debate to come into the Y.?
The statement goes on to state the center is obligated to ask a person or group to leave if they have created an ?atmosphere that is disruptive.?
The students made other arrangements but had to drive 30 minutes for a shower.?
