Wonaac, Ward & Jones

I was surprised to read about the confusion over the Wonaac motion at the last SRC, but I'd better clarify how it arose because I think it was partly my fault.

The motion was originally scheduled to come up at the SRC before the last one, and people, including myself, were there to support it. However it was put off until next time because the Middle-East debate (mainly) took up all the time available. Then it was decided to forget the whole thing as the tour was coming up so soon anyway. I think probably I should have made sure it was taken off the agenda instead of leaving it to others. As most Wonaac people, contrary to widely held beliefs, are working women and not bourgeois intellectuals, we can't all be around for every SRC meeting.

I'm not sure what the cracks about Wonaac in Anthony's report are meant to imply, but I personally don't have too much sympathy with, supposedly 'pro-abortion' people who spend their time abusing people who at least get around to doing things like organising tours. I think this kind of attitude and political infighting usually just ends up stopping anything concrete from being done.

It's also a pity that the 'antis' didn't get a chance to air their views properly. The whole point of tours such as this one is that at least, the issues get discussed, and I find it herd to understand why the 'anti-abortion people' don't want this to happen anyway, if anyone went to throw blame around, I'd rather be blamed personally than let the occasion be used to smear Wonaac once again.
