Fight Discrimination with Discrimination

Canadian University Set to Prohibit Club Status For Any Group Opposed to Abortion

By John-Henry Westen

OTTAWA, November 24, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A motion debated at the November 21 session of the Carleton University Students' Association (CUSA) council meeting would prohibit any group opposed to abortion from attaining club status at the University. While aimed at a pro-life group of students seeking club status on campus, the proposed policy may ban Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Muslim clubs as well.

On November 21, Katy McIntyre Vice President of CUSA Student Services, proposed a "Motion to Amend Discrimination on Campus Policy" which would bar from club status all groups opposed to abortion. The motion stated:

1) CUSA and CUSA Inc. respect and affirm a woman's right to choose.
2) No CUSA resources, space, recognition or funding be allocated for anti-choice purposes.

Women should exercise their right to choose whether or not to engage in sexual activity. Their unborn child should not be made to suffer for a illconsidered moment. A woman has a responsibility to that tiny life growing inside of her that takes precedence over her own plans. This so called "right to choose" is pure selfishness, symptomatic of a self-centered societal mindset.

The summary of the motion argues that pro-life groups are "anti-choice", and "seek to remove choice by making abortion illegal and it would be impossible to make abortion illegal without violating the Canadian Constitution, by removing a woman's right to life, liberty, and security of the person".

What? And what about the "life, liberty, and security of the person" of the unborn child? That poor, defenseless, tiny bit of human life, to be thrown away for the conveniance of a selfish brat who chose to conceive.
