No train wrecks at Ottawa U

February 28, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

Most unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend this abortion debate  at Ottawa U last night. We get a thoughtful assessment of the event from The Crusty Curmudgeon: 

The lecture hall in the Arts Building, which nominally seats 200, was packed out to overflowing. The opening and closing comments by the organizers acknowledged that a crowd of this size, eager to hear a debate, proved that abortion in Canada is not the settled issue many of its advocates claim it is. Moreover, the university was to be commended for its commitment to academic freedom by hosting the debate, and all involved for proving that it could be held civilly and respectfully. These remarks drew long and loud applause: the SMU shouters with their “symbolic action” and “personal autonomy” three weeks ago do not represent the mainstream of student thought. 

Sounds like a great event. Congratulations to Daniel Gilman and those at Ottawa U who organized it.
