A group of pro-life students from around the nation who’ve gathered in Austin, Texas this week for an abortion protest at the state capitol has been banned from a local YMCA after pro-choice activists complained about the students using the facility’s showers.
Students for Life of America (SFLA) had made arrangements with the Town Lake Branch of the Austin YMCA to use their showers during their week-long pro-life protest, the group’s spokesperson Alexa Coombs told Fox News. About 56 members of the group are being housed in local churches that don’t have showers. The Washington, D.C.-based pro-life organization had received permission to use the Y’s facilities between 9 and 10 p.m. each night.
“We had an agreement and that was the arrangement for the whole week,” Coombs said.

Maybe other folks have had other experiences...
Maybe a local Christian/Catholic School will allow them to use the showers in the gym...
Tolerance is a one way street.
they began to shed the christian part awhile ago.
the latest culmination is they’ve changed the mail logo to “the y”, jettisoning men, and christian.
EXACTLY.
YMCA and YWCA went lefty and pervy long ago
Baby killing is a religious sacrament of whatever religion the leftist vermin follow. No group is allowed to insult other religions...
pro-life ping — any connections in Austin to open up a Christian/Catholic School Gym so these folks would be able to shower???

Guess the Young Men’s Christian Association is no longer Christian.
Maybe they should change their name to the YMAW; the Young Men’s Atheist Organiztion.
Austin. YMCA. No surprise.
COEXISt
YMCA = homo bath house.
Downtown Austin at that...NO surprise is right!
The Austin bumper sticker is “Keep Austin Weird” and there is not much near normal downtown!! Yes, Tolerance is a one way street in most of Austin!
I wonder if Wendy’s (Wendy Davis-more famous for her clothes than her fillibuster..how sad) daughter decided to have an abortion if she’d like giving up being a grandmother??!!
The “Y” is VERY political. They sent a contingent to march in the Seattle “Pride Fest”.
YMCA was an acronym for Young Men’s Christian Association. They’ve come completely 180 degrees and are the YM anti-CA.
"I called the 512-322-9622 number and asked for who was in charge of making this decision. I was transferred and a man answered. I asked him what YMCA stood for. He would not answer me he was very rude. I asked his name and he would not give it! I called back and asked who I had been transferred to in my first call and was told Jason Daniel, associate exec director. I was transferred up Jason again and I confirmed it was him. I then called main office HR and spoke to a very nice lady, Kelli Stoffels. I told her the story and she said he was in the wrong and she will deal with him. So if anyone is rude when you call, call her and complain. "
