Saint Paul University, a Catholic University in Ottawa, Canada, is being accused of stifling free speech on campus after the Catholic university abruptly cancelled a pro-abortion film and accompanying presentation by Planned Parenthood.

The film chronicled a woman who provides abortions aboard ships anchored off the coast of countries where abortion is illegal.

“The better question is why an organization antithetical to well-known teachings of the Catholic faith would pursue such engagements … at a Catholic institution,” said a Canadian constitutional lawyer. “Where is the convivial respect for difference from this group?”

“As a Catholic institution of higher learning, Saint Paul’s is under no obligation to advance agencies that would present matters contrary to its mission statement and faith-based understandings,” Horgan said.

Good for them we don’t need that liberal commie nonsense in any of our schools I am so proud of them for standing up for themselves

I’m more worried how this was scheduled in the first place. We have this:

The film, Vessel, was scheduled as part of an annual event called “Choice! Birth and Baby Film Festival,” which had been held at the university for six years without controversy.

Ugh. This is a small victory whose attention reveals a grave problem at this university.
