Morgentaler’s Lawyer Will Sue BC Government for Approving Nation’s First Christian Law School

TORONTO, December 19, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-abortion constitutional and civil rights lawyer Clayton Ruby — known for his work on behalf of arch-abortionist Henry Morgentaler and now for accused child pornographer Benjamin Levin — will make good his threat to sue the British Columbian government after it approved yesterday a new Christian law school to open at Trinity Western University (TWU) in 2016.

TWU President Bob Kuhn called it “unfortunate” that a “positive story” about a Christian university opening a law school has received such “negative attention”.

“It’s largely an anti-Christian approach,” he told LifeSiteNews.com.

Ruby added his voice of opposition to the proposed law school along with the Canadian Council of Law Deans. Ruby had previously called the school’s Christian beliefs a “perverse” bit of “silliness”.

Ruby singled out the school’s community covenant, which requires students to reserve “sexual intimacy” for the “sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman,” something he suggested is discriminatory or “illegal" because he says it would curtail homosexual sex.

Ruby told the homosexual news service Xtra yesterday that having a Christian law school that makes its students adhere to a code of conduct is “immoral and unconscionable and we think unconstitutional”.

"We will be taking them to court,” he said, adding that he hopes the approval will be struck down.

In approving the law school, Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk noted that TWU does not receive any government funding and that it met the “degree program quality assessment criteria for private and out-of-province public institutions”.
