Some medical students walked out of a speech by an anti-abortion speaker at the University of Michigan. They said that they wanted to make a statement, but were not allowed to sit quietly.

Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
Here is a link to the Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Please consider donating!
