Anti-abortion campaigners are increasingly targeting students at UK universities, where there has been a rise in the number of anti-abortion societies on campus and demonstrations by outside groups displaying graphic imagery. According to the National Union of Students (NUS) there are now at least 14 anti-abortion societies in university students’ unions around the UK, many of which have faced fierce opposition from students who are overwhelmingly pro-choice. There have been anti-abortion societies at Cardiff students’ union before, but in October a new anti-abortion society opened called Cardiff Students for Life. An organisation called the Alliance of Pro-Life Students (APS) supports students to set up their own anti-abortion societies. It encourages them to affiliate with their students’ unions in order to gain access to facilities, resources, students’ union funding and training opportunities.
