A CATHOLIC students group at the University of Queensland has been gagged and threatened with disaffiliation from the students union for taking a perceived anti-abortion stance.
Newman Society secretary Elise Nally, a third-year applied science student, slammed the union action as totalitarian and anti-free speech.
“I’d like to know what laws we’ve broken,” Ms Nally said.
“The union is acting like a dictator.”
The offending poster and leaflets did not mention abortion but featured a photograph of an eight-week old fetus in the womb. The campaign was pitched as being “pro-women” and “pro-pregnancy”.
