As the outreach effort continued into the afternoon, a group of students set up a table with a toy baby on top and a banner that read "Georgetown Right to Feet."

Several students sat on the ground behind the table with their feet poking out from underneath the banner. 

In response to an inquiry from CP, one of the students manning the table replied that the display was a satirical protest against the Georgetown University Right to Life group on campus.

As the campus newspaper The Voice reported in February, a student named David Edwards designed a banner that resembled the pro-life group's to make fun of their logo, which features a heart and a foot. 

Edwards set up a table next to the group in February and stuck his feet out from under the banner. He also passed out fliers containing a QR that linked people to Planned Parenthood's donation page. 

"The 'Right to Feet' tabling group was using our club logo and Georgetown's name to advertise a QR code for donating to an organization [Planned Parenthood] that promotes and performs human dismemberment, which is against Georgetown's Catholic Identity," GURTL president Alissa Keegan told The Voice at the time.
