'Summer of Mercy' anniversary may spill over to WSU campus

Hundreds of people from around the country are expected to converge in Wichita this month for a week of anti-abortion rallies, protests and prayer vigils marking the 25th anniversary of the "Summer of Mercy" campaign, according to The Wichita Eagle. Indications are that some "Summer of Mercy" supporters will be on campus from 8 a.m.-noon Monday, July 18-Friday, July 22, probably in or around the RSC. You can expect the group to bring signs, speak and possibly do Bible readings. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the groups' rights to share their views in public places.
