omy is just kind of a basic right 
that you have, so I think it’s really 
amazing that they’re doing this.”

Engineering junior Jake Sat-

terelli, a member of Students for 
Choice, said Planned Parent-
hood’s continued operation was 
important to him because of his 
background.

“It’s important to me because I 

come from a less privileged back-
ground,” Satterelli said. “So I know 
people in the community — espe-
cially women — should have appro-
priate health care and, specifically, 
reproductive health care.”

LSA junior Rachel Crawford, 

vice president of the University’s 

chapter of Students for Life, wrote 
in a statement that the chapter is 
encouraging everyone to watch 
the videos in question and follow 
the professional investigations 
into Planned Parenthood.

“Those who support Planned 

Parenthood are concerned that 
redistributing the federal funding 
of this organization to other wom-
en’s health centers is an attempt 
to restrict abortion access, but at 
the same time are quick to state 
that the federal funding does not 
in any way go towards abortions.”

Students for Life also provided a 

statement on behalf of the chapter.

“Students for Life would like 

to see the federal funds which are 
currently being given to Planned 
Parenthood be redistributed to the 
women’s community health centers 

which provide mammograms and 
other life-saving care,” they wrote.

Music, Theatre & Dance junior 

Katherine Kelley said if students 
don’t actively show their support 
for reproductive health, they are 
in danger of losing resources like 
Planned Parenthood.

“I think if young people don’t 

get up and say that they want it 
to stay, then it’s going to get taken 
down,” Kelley said.

Kelley said she thought the 

demonstration was timely not 
only because of the recent legisla-
tive controversy, but also because 
of misconceptions about repro-
duction she said were present in 
current presidential campaigns.

Notably, in the most recent 

Republican presidential debate, 
former 
Hewlett-Packard 
CEO 

Carly Fiorina, a 2016 GOP presi-
dential 
candidate, 
described 

an exaggerated scene of how 
Planned Parenthood saves fetal 
tissue as she says was presented 
in the undercover videos. Her 
comments — which were later 
debunked — received a thunder-
ous applause.

“Especially with the whole 

presidential campaign going on, 
it seems like a lot of people are 
giving out false information, 
where(as) I think Planned Parent-
hood gives out good information, 
and good help that people need,” 
she said. “It’s a lot more than 
just abortions. It’s a lot of health 
benefits and a lot of education 
that people don’t get elsewhere 
because nobody wants to talk 
about women’s health.”

in the air on ‘hail,’ you are one 
of us.”

To this, Sagal responded, “So 

you say ‘hail,’ not ‘heil,’ right?”

Games played during the 

course of the night included 
“Who’s Bill This Time?” and 
“Not My Job.” The show’s panel-
ists in attendance were comedi-
an Alonzo Bodden, Washington 
Post journalist Roxanne Roberts 
and author Roy Blount Jr.

The audience was composed 

mostly of local Michigan resi-
dents with relatively few Univer-
sity students in attendance. In an 
interview with the Daily, Busi-
ness senior Sarah Burkhardt and 
Public Policy senior Grace Lutfy 
said this was no surprise.

Burkhardt, who is a member 

of Greek life, said she was sym-
pathetic to Sagal’s comments 
about some elements of the Uni-
versity’s reputation.

“I think what they said was 

very true and it shows how peo-

ple outside of our community are 
responding to the news,” Bur-
khardt said. “It’s showing how, 
as college students, we can influ-
ence the news both for good or 
for bad.”

“But that being said, they 

mentioned a lot about Harbaugh 
and that’s something good about 
our community that’s making 
news,” she added.

Burkhardt said she appreci-

ated how the show’s theme cen-
tered on the University.

“We are seniors, so we really 

want to take advantage of these 
alternative opportunities,” Bur-
khardt said. “We could be at 
Rick’s right now but instead we 
are here, broadening our hori-
zons.”

Following the show, Sagal 

and panelists stayed on stage to 
answer questions from the audi-
ence. 

Sagal thanked the audience 

for their attendance, emphasiz-
ing his excitement to be at “one 
of the nation’s number-one party 
schools.”

State rep. talks environment, gun control

Irwin discusses 
state issues with 
impact on students

BY LYDIA PARK

For the Daily

State Rep. Jeff Irwin (D–Ann 

Arbor) addressed the University’s 
chapter of College Democrats on 
what he considered key issues, 
including education, the environ-
ment and equality.

Irwin began his talk on Thurs-

day by stressing the importance 
of the College Democrats as an 
organization.

“I want each of you to think 

about how you can be a part of 
making a community a better 
place,” he said. “I want to encour-
age you to understand that the 
group you’re involved with here 
is a genuinely important group.”

He then moved to one of the 

focuses of his policy agenda: 
education. Irwin discussed the 
problems he has faced in the state 

legislature with funding higher 
education and the effects that has 
on students.

“There was a time in our state’s 

history when you could go to col-
lege — even at a place like this — 
you could work while you were 
here and pay your bills just off 
of a part-time job. It’s not like 
that anymore,” he said. “In my 
parents’ generation, the state of 
Michigan paid for 70 percent of 
the cost of college. Today, based 
on the money that the state leg-
islature appropriates, we are pay-

ing for about 15 percent.”

Irwin then highlighted the 

change in momentum on this 
issue.

“The shift has made it so that 

now we’re talking about student 
debt,” he said. “Now we are real-
izing that this is a tremendous 
weight around the neck of our 
young people. College is supposed 
to be a tool for social mobility, but 
it is not serving its purpose like it 
used to.”
