Must of missed something. Is it Groundhog Day?
On October 29th the Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) voted 7:6 in favour of banning the campus club, Lakehead University Life Support (LULS). This development occurred after the club had battled with LUSU for over two years and was finally granted club status in March.
Fair treatment of LULS was short lived however as their club status was called into question after a false complaint was made against the club after a clubs day display table event. LUSU never proved that this accusation was true nor did they even attempt to verify its veracity but it played a significant role during the discussion at the meeting.
LULS was denied club status with a motion brought forward by Josh Kolic, LUSU’s VP Finance. Kolic’s justification for taking away their status was that LULS is an “exclusive” club with “extremist views on abortion”.
Maggie Ten Hoeve, LULS President, explains, “We are disappointed yet again in our student union. It is understood that on a university campus ideologies and beliefs will be expressed that may be opposite to others. Instead our student union is anxious to shut down these discussions at the first mention of a false accusation without any investigation.”
The club will be appealing this decision.
Keep on keeping on, pro-lifers at Lakehead. And all the students out there facing extremist student union leaders.

Right now we know that women in universities have an extremely high abortion rate. If abortion is the social norm, an unspoken part of univerisity culture what kind of reception does the unmarried pregnant university woman get? This situation leads very quickly to one of discrimination against women because of pregnancy.
McGill’s student union will be voting on this same issue within a week.
Typical of the left: (Socialism, Marxism, any totalitarianism) they don’t want discussion because they are afraid to be proven wrong.
Or so ignorant that they “KNOW” THEY ARE RIGHT and everybody else is wrong.
I know from experience that campus pro life groups are doing crazy shit like showing pictures of aborted fetuses and stuff, these scare tactics which first off, will turn people away from the movement, and second off, all of the women who have had to make this hard choice in the past (yes, despite popular belief, i firmly believe that this is a choice that is really hard for people to make in their lives), have to walk by and see that shit. WITHOUT A CHOICE BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM. I don’t know, it seems like campus pro-life groups promote hate. And besides, I don’t want no campus pro life group telling me how I should make one of the hardest choices of my life (which would no longer be a choice, if the pro-life movement achieved what they wanted). So yay Lakehead!

Do you think that pictures of the aftermath of dog fights(http://www.workingpitbull.com/dogfighting.htm) should not be shown because the dog owners might feel guilty?
Do you think that we should relegate pictures of the holocaust into the archives and never bring them out again because the descendants of the Nazis and their sympathizers feel bad upon viewing them?
I’m sorry for your loss.
