I’m not “Pro-Life” (in the sense that the Pro-Life movement has established). Anything but. Nevertheless, it’s intellectually dishonest to stack the deck in the debate by blocking the formation of a Pro-Life organization, especially in an academic setting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite meeting all of the requirements stated in the student government\u2019s Approval for Student Organizations By-Laws, Law Students Pro-Life has twice been officially denied the right to exist as a recognized student organization….The suggestion that Law Students Pro-Life adopt an anti-death penalty stance violates the group\u2019s right to organize according to its own principles. It is an attempt to coerce them to espouse beliefs that they may not want to address, or that may even violate their deepest conviction\u2014No institution seriously committed to open discourse would tell students what issues they cannot address; let alone, what issues they must address.”<\/p>\n

Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself. She is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.<\/i>
