Plans to start Pro-Life Group at University of Canterbury

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Well, it’s only a couple weeks to go before Uni’s back. We’re feeling the pressure! At the moment, the plans are moving ahead for prolife. We have a sight booked for each of the clubs days, running from the 23-25th February. We’ve been racking our brains for a good statement of what our club is about. Here’s what we came up with:

We want to be a hub at the University of Canterbury for students who are pro-life, that is, valuing the preciousness of a baby’s life before birth. Also, we wish to help pregnant mothers by pointing them towards useful, caring counselling services. As well as having regular club meetings during term-time, we plan to run public forums and seminars at which we would present our views and welcome input. We believe this is a very relevant issue in today’s society and would like to help co-students understand better what abortion is.

So now we’re getting together brochures to hand out. Hopefully we can also sell some cool prolife t-shirts and precious hands/feet.

We want to promote all things prolife. Even now, people are joining us as members of prolife. We hope for more positive encouragement in this regard.
