Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum recently told a group of students that they needed to fight for conservative values in “every aspect of your life” because liberals who support abortion rights even “make it uncomfortable” to shower at the YMCA if you disagree with their views.

In July, Fox News radio host Todd Starnes reported that the Town Lake Branch of the Austin YMCA had “banned” the pro-life group Students for Life. Starnes said that the group had been promised that they could use YMCA showers while they were in town to support the Texas anti-abortion bill but were later told they were no longer welcome in the facilities because pro-life students “intimidated” the staff.

“If any person or group enters our facilities and creates an atmosphere that is disruptive, we have an obligation to our members and program participants to ask that person or group to leave or to refuse them access… There are appropriate places in which to conduct a political debate, and that place is down the street at the State Capitol, not at our YMCA.”
