Looks like some folks feel that there is an abortion exception to the First Amendment.

A Western Washington University student did $2,700 of damage Tuesday to a Red Square display showing pictures of aborted fetuses next to images of genocide before being arrested, police said.
David Janus Zhang, 21, jumped over the three-foot high aluminum fencing surrounding the exhibit at about 1:30 p.m., said Dave Doughty, assistant chief of the Western Washington University Police Department. Zhang then “went on a rampage,” punching, tearing and pushing over the display, he said.

Police eventually arrested Zhang in Sehome Arboretum. He was booked into Whatcom County Jail on malicious mischief and disorderly conduct charges.

The display is by the Vancouver-based Center for Bio-Ethical Reform. Its Web site, www.abortionno.org, offers links to download graphic abortion videos.

The display will be on Red Square through the end of today. After TuesdayÂ’s incident, Doughty said officers would continue to monitor the area.

The damage to the display could be in the thousands of dollars.

Pictures of the destruction are available at Lifesite.
