"Anti-Choice" Controversy

On December 5, 2006, CUSA voted 26-6-1-1 (26 in favour, 6 against, 1 abstaining, 1 absent) of becoming officially a "pro-choice" body, and removing any of the associations support from all actions it claimed were "anti-choice", drawing critical reactions not only from anti-abortion groups, but from some campus groups, such as the Carleton University Debating Society, [cite news|publisher=The Charlatan|author=Carleton University Debating Society|date=2006-11-23|url=http://www.charlatan.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18124&Itemid=152|title=An open letter to CUSA from the Carleton University Debating Society] that claimed CUSA was stifling open debate. Those in favour of the motion however, defended it as ensuring women's rights on campus.
