SPUC executive director Michael Robinson said that the suspension is a message there 'there is no place for pro-life Catholics or pro-lifers of any sort on their campus.'

The university’s Catholic Society was placed under investigation over a social media post encouraging members to attend a pro-life vigil outside of a hospital in Glasgow, which the union’s vice president for communities, Jess Reid, said “goes against our values and policy as a students’ union.”

Wow.
Pray this prayer, every day.
Prayer to End the Killing
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all,
Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
Western civilization is not dying. It is already dead.
I wonder who is triggering this and other similar attacks upon Catholics witnessing to the truths of the Faith in the public square. Hmmm, wonder who that could be?
“goes against our values and policy as a students’ union.”
“Our” values, no other point of view is acceptable.
YOU ARE HERE: Recognizing where we are in the repeating cycle of civilization collapse
Servants of Satan did this.
Their values are infanticide. Sick and evil place.
