Part 18 - Presentation hosted by Choose Life McGill hijacked by pro-abortion protesters Oct. 6 2009

Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform representative Jojo Ruba's Oct. 6 2009 presentation at McGill University, hosted by Choose Life McGill, was hijacked for over 2 hours tonight by pro-abortion protesters.

As the presentation began, protesters shouted and sang children's songs. They then crowded around the now vacant podium (Mr. Ruba having absconded) and continued signing for the better part of an hour, at which point police arrived. Two protesters were taken, but many were left behind. When the police left, they resumed and disrupted the presentation (which had fitfully resumed) until the two hour mark, at which point event organizers were informed by campus officials that time had run out and the room had to be closed for the night.

Protesters then filed out, along with most of the audience. A police officer showed up again, answering some questions for the campus media.

A sad day for free speech, and a sad day for the unborn--but displays like last night's show that the truth that the unborn have an inalienable right to life is so manifest that the only way to oppose it is by physical force. And truth being stronger and more persistent than physical force, we'll surely see a time (maybe not in our lifetimes, but surely there will be a time) when that truth is recognized, cherished, celebrated.

@lawndog214 It is also Google's idea of freedom of speech. Google should do no evil.

Names of those involved please. Recruiters have a right to know which students cant be trusted to behave in a civil manner.

Yah it's true, those two girls especially should have been arrested. If I had been there I think it would have been REALLY hard to resist getting in a cat fight with them

Yeah, he could have been worse. But I would like to know where the hell the police presence went after they escorted the first batch of dicks out of there. Four of the remaining ones were actually the most raucous of the group (girl in the yellow shirt, the tall, skinny girl in the black, the obvious flaming homosexual with the nearly shaved head, and the guy with the mini-'fro that thought he was a 1970's rock star). Why weren't they hauled out?

[LM1234Life]

Well....I mean, he was really respectful to the pro-lifers, and at least 2 students did get arrested. It could have been much worse, he could have been "one of them", and not done anything at all

[jeannedarc624]

Don't law abiding citizens have rights in Canada? Or are only fascist liberal bullies protected?

[jeannedarc624]

WHY? he did n;t do his job at all!

They should sends flowers to that police officer
