The University of Michigan’s
chapter of College Republicans
released an endorsement of GOP
presidential nominee Donald Trump
and his vice-presidential candidate,
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on Sunday.
In a statement, the chapter’s
president, LSA junior Enrique
Zalamea, wrote though not all
Republicans agree with everything
Trump has said, the chapter chose to
endorse him because Trump’s beliefs
best align with the conservative
ideals the chapter upholds.
“I know that some you may
not agree with all of Mr. Trump’s
statements and policies, but the
campaign is not about one person,”
Zalamea wrote. “Mr. Trump in the
White House comes with an entire
administration of conservatives
that, as Republicans, share many
of the same ideals that we would
not see represented under Clinton’s
presidency. And any vote not for
Trump is a vote for Clinton.”
Mirroring a nationwide trend
among some GOP officials, several
campus College Republicans groups
have declined to endorse Trump,
though it is customary for them
to endorse the nominee. Harvard
Republican Club refused to endorse
Trump in August, the first time the
group refused to endorse a republican
nominee since 1888.
The UM College Republicans’
endorsement comes several months
after Trump was officially selected
as the nominee at the Republican
National Convention in July. It is
also later than other endorsements
on campus from political groups —
the University’s chapter of College
Democrats endorsed Trump’s
opponent, Hillary Clinton, on July
12 in a Facebook post after Clinton’s
Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I–Vt.) dropped out of the
race and endorsed her.
“College Democrats at the
University of Michigan is proud to
officially endorse Hillary Clinton
as the Democratic nominee for
President,” the post read. “Secretary
Clinton is a historic candidate,
steadfast progressive, and — to
echo President Obama: ‘There has
never been any man or woman more
qualified for this office than Hillary,
ever, and that’s the truth.’”
Along with endorsing Trump,
Zalamea also urged students to vote
straight-ticket for other conservative
candidates to make a difference on all
levels of government.
“Regardless of your views on Mr.
Trump, I encourage you all to make
the effort to go to the polls and vote
down-ballot Republican for your state
and congressional candidates,” he
wrote.

BRIEF
BRIEF
WHAT THE SOUND
AMELIA CACCHIONE/Daily
Munch performs at The Bling Pig during What The Sound on Friday.
think about abortion as more
than a one-dimensional sort of
issue,” she said. “So they can
relate to the characters and see
them in a light that is not one
of shame and stigma, which is
kind of the dominant narrative
that this country has about
reproductive justice.”
In addition to the eight
vignettes that were part of the
original script, Daniel Bizer-
Cox, who graduated in 2013
LSA, wrote an epilogue to the
performance. He said writing
this piece was an attempt to
articulate his emotions on this
topic.
“It was very cathartic to
put pen to paper about such a
really important issue that’s so
divisive,” he said. “I wanted to
try and find a way that I could
express all the feelings that I
had, especially in the political
climate that we live in, and
it can be so oppressive and
frustrating so it was nice to
feel like I could actually have
a voice.”
The epilogue came in the
form of a slam poem and
included some of the political
discourse the rest of the
performance avoided. Bizer-
Cox called it a call to action,
especially
in
light
of
the
presidential election.
“The 2016 election was very
prevalent in my mind when
I was writing it, and I think
it will come across in that as
well, and it talks about a lot of
the things that politicians are
currently trying to do to limit
access to abortion,” he said.
Overall, Hamann said the
show intended to emphasize
both the personal and the
physical
factors
behind
abortion.
“It’s
really
just
getting
beyond this abstract idea of
abortion and really putting
faces to the stories,” she said.
LSA
sophomore
Madison
Atkins,
who
attended
the
event, said she appreciated this
personal and varied approach
to the issue.
“I definitely liked the gray
aspects of it, that it wasn’t just
‘Oh, they were raped and then
they had an abortion because
they were raped,’ ” she said.
“There were these different
aspects that played into it that
were really interesting, and I’m
glad that they showed.”
Nursing
sophomore
Kara
Hoffman said the performance
resonated with her due to her
planned profession.
“I’m
also
a
nursing
student, so I wanted to get
the perspective from future
patients, because I’m going to
have patients who go through
this eventually,” she said.
A talkback panel followed
the
performance,
which
included representatives from
a variety of health nonprofits
and health professionals.
Hamann noted the panel was
an important part of helping
the audience digest the themes
presented in the vignettes.
“I think it would be not doing
the show justice if we didn’t
have some sort of talk-back just
to engage the audience a little
bit more,” she said.
The
panel
discussed
stigma in relation to abortion,
advocacy, general reproductive
justice
and
personal
experience. They also accepted
questions
from
audience
members.
Panelist
Timothy
Johnson,
chair
of
Obstetrics and Gynecology
at
the
University,
applauded the provocative
nature of the play and
said many of the stories
resonated with him as a
physician.
“I take care of patients
every day, and each one of
those stories is a patient,”
he said. “I’ve taken care
of probably 10,000, 15,000
people who’ve terminated
their
pregnancy.
And
that’s not a big part of
what I do, but I’ve heard
all those stories.”
Engineering sophomore
Natalia
Martinez
also
voiced appreciation for the
variety of stories, as well
as the way they challenged
the stigmas surrounding
abortions.
“People tend to treat
abortion as one evil act
and they tend not to look
at the bigger picture,” she
said.
