College debate in Canada on should a doctor provide or refer for abortion....

Watch a video of a recent debate on a college campus on the issue of should a doctor, provide or refer for abortion. The debaters are Stephanie Gray (Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform) and Jovan Morales (Atheist Community of University of Ottawa);Sponsored by University of Ottawa Students for Life and University of Ottawa Medical Students for Life. It is always good to listen to an excellent debater such as Stephanie but I find it interesting that when she uses a portion of her time to show a video which she warns is graphic in part, there is an outburst of profanity from a male member of the audience. Sometimes the truth is just overwhelming.

MTSU agrees to stop discriminating against pro life group


Murfreesboro, TN (LifeNews.com) -- Officials at Middle Tennessee State University have agreed to stop discriminating against a campus pro-life group now that a legal group has stepped into the fray. After receiving a letter from Alliance Defense Fund attorneys, Middle Tennessee State has agreed to retract a discriminatory requirement.
MTSU had required that a pro-life student group pay a security fee for a campus display.
ADF attorneys representing the student group, Pro-Life Collegians, argued that the fee was unconstitutional, noting that other student groups are not required to pay for campus security during their events.
“Pro-life student groups shouldn't be penalized and discriminated against for expressing their beliefs,” said ADF Litigation Staff Counsel Joe Martins.
“We are pleased that the officials at Middle Tennessee State University have changed their minds and refrained from singling out the Pro-Life Collegians for this type of fee. The courts have repeatedly ruled that as unconstitutional. The university has certainly done the right thing here in respecting the First Amendment rights of its students," he added.
