A pro-life demonstration held at UBCO on Tuesday prompted a pro-choice counter-demonstration from some students.
Devorah Gilman with pro-life group Expose the Reality, says they came on campus to promote their belief in human rights.
“We know that human beings reproduce other living human beings and abortion is something that intentionally ends the life of that living human being,” she said “Abortion decapitates, dismembers and disembowels the youngest members of the human family and that’s why we’re here to show that and have a conversation with students”
The group had graphic images of aborted fetuses, which is one of the reasons a counter-demonstration was organized, according to student union VP, Kimberly Rutledge.
“Usually the SUO takes the neutral stance on most matters but due to the circumstances that came out of this we wanted to make sure we were supporting our students on our campus who were feeling oppressed and were feeling hurt by the images they were seeing”
A safe space and counselors were also made available to affected students.
Both groups will be demonstrating on Wednesday as well.
