BC Civil Liberties Association: Pro-choicers afraid of pro-life free speech?

October 21, 2014 by Faye Sonier 4 Comments

I love this quote from John Dixon:

At stake is whether the University of Victoria student society (UVSS) has the right to punish student clubs for pro-life activities and whether the University of Victoria has the right to enforce those punishments.

While the BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) is officially pro-choice, it is supporting YPY because it believes universities have to obey the Charter.

“Are those of us who are pro-choice so frightened of civil, peaceful speech against our conviction, that we must take refuge in quasi-legal antics to harass, frighten, and ultimately punish those who dare to challenge them?” asked BCCLA spokesman John Dixon, when the BCCLA first took the case last year.

Are they?

    Yes, frightened out of their wits. That’s what I see every time I try to engage them in a rational discussion.
