The radical left-wing anti-freedom of speech student union at York University in Ontario, a group who apparently haven’t attended any classes on fascism—or freedom—yet, are trying to stifle debate on abortion again, by banning anyone from making pro-life arguments. This sounds Iranian to me. Does York have an Iran campus?
When your pro-abortion arguments are so weak that you feel you have to forcibly shut your opponents up using Iranian-style fascist methods that I’m pretty sure are illegal in this country, it may be time to re-assess your position.
Or as Jeff Foxworthy may say, “you just might be a fascist”.
Like so many secular-progressive liberal-leftists in Canada and the U.S., the York University students running the radical left-wing student union fiefdom believe in freedom of speech only when the speakers agree with them and their position. Others are silenced in one way or another. Freedom is only for them. People who think that way are fascists.
Clearly, the radical liberal-leftists at York are afraid of the fact that they will of course lose the debate in the marketplace (ooh! probably a bad word for them!) of ideas, which they know they will, as soon as even a little truth about abortion is exposed.
As those of us in the common sense set already know, abortion is the most disgusting, most egregious thing ever thought of by humans.
I note that in the National Post article—including in the headline—the term “anti-abortion” is used, as if the author of the article (Joseph Brean) and the NP editors have drunk the Kool-Aid and totally adopted the negative pro-abortion rhetoric of the leftist abortion lobby themselves. This is just my opinion of course, but unless they’re mentally retarded or high on crack, they know that those of us who oppose abortion prefer the more life affirming term “pro-life” over the distinctly and purposefully negative and defensive sounding “anti-abortion” (or “anti-choice”, which they also use in the article)—and yet they chose to use that term anyway, right in the headline.
York University student union calls for ban on anti-abortion groups
Joseph Brean, National Post
Published: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 [but found on Thursday May 29, 2008 front page]In response to a series of controversies over abortion debates on Canadian campuses, the student government of York University in Toronto has tabled an outright ban on student clubs that are opposed to abortion.
Gilary Massa, vice-president external of the York Federation of Students, said student clubs will be free to discuss abortion in student space, as long as they do it “within a pro-choice realm,” and that all clubs will be investigated to ensure compliance.
“You have to recognize that a woman has a choice over her own body,” Ms. Massa said. “We think that these pro-life, these anti-choice groups, they’re sexist in nature … The way that they speak about women who decide to have abortions is demoralizing. They call them murderers, all of them do … Is this an issue of free speech? No, this is an issue of women’s rights.” …
Those radical students should of course be thrown out of the university that you and me and all of us are forced to help pay for; or maybe better yet, a new requirement should be added to their curriculum: attend remedial classes for a couple years on the basic concepts of “freedom” as we know it in Canada and other non-Iranian places. And their grades should be publicly disclosed, so we’re all sure it’s working. Otherwise we’re doing little more than breeding a horrible army of fascist liberal-left Canadians who don’t respect freedom, and this is a dangerous thing because these radicals will eventually (if they ever grow up—or even if they don’t) assume the reins of governmental control of our now great country.
