There have been a multitude of reels and TikToks that I've come across involving my university campus. After looking into it some more, It turns out that a "new" Pro-Life organization claiming themselves as "Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust" have been harassing my peers and the students here. [1]

I got most of my "useless" fun facts and tips from forums like Naver, Quora, and surprisingly Reddit. Knowing their reputation, I was surprised people got genuine answers and not just snarky remarks. Its worth a shot to ask on these forums.
