Carleton (University) students bar anti-abortion groups

Carleton University's student council has voted to deny funding to campus anti-abortion groups.

A carefully worded policy amendment, passed on Tuesday night during a council meeting, also bars student groups with anti-choice mandates from council-managed spaces. "What we were speaking out against is those anti-choice behaviours that the majority of students feel are very discriminatory towards women," said Shawn Menard, president of Carleton University Students' Association (CUSA).

"Where we draw the line in terms of anti-choice is that anti-choice is a stance that aims to limit or remove a woman's right to choose her best option in the case of pregnancy.

"Anti-choice often wishes to use the law to force women to bring unwanted pregnancy to term and they usually advocate for the recriminalization of abortion or a return to the board-granted abortion process," he said, adding the students' association did not want to fund that kind of activity.

What are the odds this is gonna be the "big story"
all the RW talking heads run with this week?

I don't know about a private school.

I would guess if the antiabortion group was disrupting campus, engaging in illegal activities or something like that, and american university could deny it privileges as a student organization. If they are a peaceful, non-violent group, then they would have the same opportunities as a students for choice group would. That would be the fair way, at least.
