It could not have been a more appropriate ending for the legendary careers that helped change the whole identity of a university.
Folarin Campbell made the game-winning basket, while Will Thomas pulled down the game-sealing rebound en route to a 60-54 victory versus William & Mary in what was the final game they will ever play at the Patriot Center.

The idea that someone who is Pro-Choice is against the life of an un-born child is possibly the most common misconception in today’s society, especially with those who have a Pro-Life position. It is, however, false to think that because one side is titled in so biased a way as Pro-Life that any opposition is automatically “pro-death.” Pro-Choice is not pro-death. Pro-Choice is an ideology that believes that a woman has the right to choose what will happen to her body, and that the government has no place in making that decision for her.

Every worldview has its axioms, or assumptions that must be true in order to preserve validity. Whenever these basic points of unity are undermined, the entire position is undermined. Enter the Pro-Choice Movement, an entity like other ideologies that has a set of assumptions that must be true in order for the movement not to be in vain. However, as evidenced by a sampling of assumptions gathered, the reader shall bear witness to the flaws of a movement shrouded in emotional arguments, D.C.-area marches and political activism.
