Pro-life charity barred from universities
from The Christian Institute:
Three English student unions have blocked a pro-life charity from appearing at their Freshers’ Fair, with one saying students had officially taken a pro-abortion line.
Warwick, Manchester and Liverpool all rejected the Life charity’s application. It has now complained to the independent regulator – the Office for Students (OfS).
Life explained that its university displays aim to inform students that help is available if they get pregnant, and do not include any images of aborted babies.
‘Impartial’
Warwick Students’ Union rejected the charity because the union’s members ‘have voted to adopt a pro-choice stance’.
…violations of free speech which takes place on the campus of the university should be a cause for concern for all.
Manchester claimed the Freshers’ Fair platform was not suitable for Life, while Liverpool claimed the charity would not offer “impartial advice” to students.
Life responded by saying the students were denying freedom of expression, as well as “preventing us from advertising practical support to university students”.
