Anti-abortion group suspended at McGill University

Choose Life prohibited from assembling on campus

According to CBC, the Student Society of McGill University (SSMU) has passed a motion to suspend the group status of an anti-abortion club. The “Choose Life” club at McGill can no longer hold gatherings on university property and will not receive council funding.

Choose Life has been criticized for distributing graphic anti-abortion literature on campus. McGill student society president Ivan Neilson also alleges that some students have complained of feeling harassed or personally attacked by the group.

The club’s president, Nathalie Fohl, says she plans on meeting with the SSMU to work out an agreement.
