Wayne State Anit-Abortion Lawsuit
Comments 0 | Recommend 0DETROIT (AP) - A student group is suing Wayne State University over the denial of money for a week of anti-abortion events.
Students for Life says its free-speech rights were violated last spring when Wayne State's Student Council rejected a request for $4,000.
Students for Life is a campus organization. And like other groups, it believes it should be entitled to a portion of student fees.
A lawsuit filed this week in federal court in Detroit says the request was rejected because of ``spiritual and religious references.'' But the anti-abortion group says it doesn't have a religious affiliation.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday with the school's public relations staff.
