Two Scottish universities have failed their students by not protecting their rights to free speech. The University of Edinburgh and Stirling University have been shamed in a damning new report, launched today. The document, called Free2Speak, marked every Scottish university based on their policies towards pro-life students, societies, and outside speakers, as well as the lived experiences of students.

An estimated 3,000 people gathered in at the German March for Life in Berlin to promote the value of human life and call for an end to abortion.

President Trump announced yesterday that he will sign a “born alive” Executive Order, defending the right to life of babies who survive abortion.

SPUC hopes and prays that the USA chooses life.”

SPUC has commented after the publication of Labour MP Rupa Huq’s Bill to “restrict demonstrations in the vicinity of abortion clinics; and for connected purposes”, which proposes jailing pro-life people for six months if they express any opinion on abortion within 150 metres of an abortion clinic.

“Saving the right to save lives is vital” says SPUC, in the week that pro-life vigils come under threat in Parliament from pro-abortion MP, Rupa Huq. As vigils organised by the 40 Days for Life movement begin, Rupa Huq’s bill to introduce buffer zones around abortion clinics comes up for Second Reading in the House of Commons.
