Carleton University's student association said Thursday it will vote in December on whether to change its policies and allow an anti-abortion group to register as a club.
Carleton Lifeline, an anti-abortion group on campus at the Ottawa university, said this week its club status had been revoked as part of the student association's policy against discrimination, which specifically bans any group that opposes a woman's right to have an abortion.
Some defenders of free speech are saying this is an infringement on the right to express differing views, but the foetus fetishists can still post their foetus porn in public areas since the group will continue to be offered public space and tables on campus which is consistent with the university's practice with respect to other student groups.
The Lifeline group wants the legitimacy a club would give them, I think, as well as the funding for clubs, of course.
They aren't being prevented from speaking, but the student association is right in this case because funding the group would show support for their efforts, and that means they would be supporting a group that is attempting to take away some of women's rights.
Going to watch this one.
