A pro-life presentation at UFV scheduled to take place tonight has been postponed by the university. Members of Life Link, the student club responsible for the event, contend that it has been cancelled by the administration.
The group invited Michael Schouten of WeNeedALaw.ca to speak in favour of a law banning sex-selective abortions in Canada.
In an April 8 press release, Life Link president Ashley Bulthuis framed the dispute as a censorship issue, asking “[w]hy has the university suddenly disregarded its commitment to free speech in regards to the gendercide and abortion issues?”
Last year’s Life Link president Rebecca Groen echoed these sentiments, citing a successful debate the club held last year with attendance of over 100 students as evidence that the university’s security concerns are not legitimate.
