Following the vandalism last month of a pro-life display at Northern Kentucky University, pro-choice activists destroyed another pro-life display, this time at Princeton University.
Pro-life group Princeton Pro-Life had erected a display of 347 flags, with each flag representing a student who might have been in the Princeton class of 2010, had they not been aborted. The display was torn down and vandalized; pro-choice activists cut up 30 coat hangers and spread them on the ground, and added sarcastic pro-choice messages to the display's signage.
Campus police are investigating the incident, but Princeton Pro-Life expressed skepticism about the investigation, saying that they believed investigating the vandalism was low on the priority list.

Looks a bit suspicious to me. According to the story, one of the signs said “Support smaller classes—support abortion.” This seems more like something a naive abortion opponent might imagine an abortion supporter saying rather than something an abortion supporter would actually say.
I could be wrong, but I suspect an inside job.

Well, it’s always a possibility. Every cause gets burned now and again.

This professor probably had an abortion or someone close to her had one and the display struck a nerve. Her actions don’t surprise me one bit; the pro-life displays on any university campus often receive violent reactions from pro-choicers.
