7. In their future, some of these students may be imprisoned for trying to save a patient's life.

They will be imprisoned because this woman and people like her believe an embryo is more important than a woman's life.

The forced birthers are putting medical people in an untenable situation. Health care professionals will have to watch some pregnant women become close enough to death that the hospital lawyers give the go-ahead to try to save their lives, although the embryo or fetus may already have zero chance of survival.

Fact: some people really believe that a soul is an imaginary human construct. Those beliefs don't kill people or force 10 year old children to carry their rapist's fetus to term.

Walking out is a completely legitimate and appropriate protest.
