New Zealand pro-life club finally granted official status by university

Good news from Life Site News.

Excerpt:

The University of Auckland pro-life group, Prolife Auckland, today announced their successful affiliation at the University of Auckland.

The announcement comes on the heels of the group’s recent overturning of a policy discriminating against pro-life groups at the university. Since 2002, anyone wanting to start a pro-life club on campus has had only one opportunity every 365 days, at an annual general meeting, to try and gain official club status, whereas any other club simply had to apply at a Student Forum, which takes place weekly.

[…]The pro-life group affiliated this afternoon at the Auckland University Students Association (AUSA) forum. Debate occurred over whether the pro-life group should affiliate, with those in favor arguing that all students should have the right to choose what they believe and to express their views on campus.

At least there is some good news, because the University of Calgary students in Canada are getting beaten up. I thought that Canada was more conservative than New Zealand? I guess not.
