Aberdeen University students petitioned to have a pro-life poster removed from campus, claiming it was “actively harmful” to women. The Catholic chaplaincy on the campus displayed posters for a 40 Days of Life event, featuring people holding signs and prayer vigils outside the city’s maternity hospital during Lent.
The building on which the poster was displayed is owned by the Catholic Church, which is morally opposed to abortion. The Church responded to the letter saying, “freedom of speech should be at the heart of academic life.”
