This week, Edinburgh University’s Life Society
succeeded in its campaign against a motion to renew a union policy to "support a
woman’s right to choose and affiliate to abortion rights."The motion was defeated during a debate this week where Life Society President, Venesa Reith, argued that the policy threatened to "alienate a proportion of the student population."
Delighted with the result, Venessa said: "We at Edinburgh University Life Society would encourage other universities facing pro-choice motions to stand up and be counted!
“It’s scary, and it’s daunting, but if you take a stand (and do so with compassion and a thought for the people who are voting the other way) then you are already being a witness to the pro-life movement in the UK.”
The Life Society was supported by the Alliance of Pro-Life Students, which aims to promote the culture of life and bring the pro-life message back onto university campuses. Christian Concern.
