After a semester-long debate, the UOSU has come to a decision about the club status of the anti-abortion group University of Ottawa Students for Life.
pro-choice
The Board of Directors of the University of Ottawa Students’ Union met on Sunday, where they passed a motion to take a pro-choice stance on abortion. The motion comes in the wake of controversy after an anti-abortion group regained the official club status they had lost under the school’s former student government.
The UOSU unanimously passed a motion on Sunday at their Board of Directors meeting to take a pro-choice stance on abortion, but they did not make any decisions on the anti-abortion club’s official status or how their pro-choice stance would impact that status.
The protest was considered timely, but not urgent. The government of Ireland has proposed that a referendum for repealing the 8th Amendment (which recognizes the right to life of an unborn child) will take place sometime in June or July of 2018.
