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.”
