Abortion rights group speaks at Boston College

[Riley259]

Here’s an article in the Globe about an abortion rights group that recently met and spoke at Boston College - a little bit of subterfuge was used to get this off the ground at this school but in general BC has allowed some other questionable things to occur.

Time to reign in BC and the Jesuits there.

I hope the Cardinal Newman Society is on top of this travesty as well. Check out their website. You can also let them know you support their efforts and reclaim our Catholic Universities for the sake of our grandchildren and other generations to come.

Actually, that article seems to indicate that the college was hoodwinked by these baby killers.

They cancelled the presentation as soon as they found out what it was,

Tuesday, the day of the event, the college canceled it, saying that the sponsoring student group misled the university into thinking it was a College Democrats function.

then a professor reserved space for his department and gave it to the baby killers.

The event, which attracted some 80 students, went on after a sociology professor, hours before the event, requested the campus meeting space for the sociology department.

The college administration staff did well, but that professor needs to be disciplined.

Hold on people… Read the article…BC tried to do the right thing…It was the professor and now they are trying to change the rules so it doesn’t happen again…

CHESTNUT HILL – A new abortion rights group at Boston College, with the aid of a professor, rebelled against university officials and held its first major event this week, a panel discussion featuring the public affairs director for Planned Parenthood and three academics who are abortion rights supporters.

The event irked school officials, who initially canceled the student-organized function and later announced plans to reexamine rules governing sponsorship of campus events.

The clash highlights the struggle of religiously affiliated schools to honor academic freedom and expression and abide by Catholic tenets. In December, Boston College denied a permit for a dance sponsored by a gay and lesbian student group, saying it would advocate homosexuality in opposition to Catholic doctrine.
