Investigation Finds Surprising Number of Christian Colleges Linked to Planned Parenthood
“The Catechism emphasizes that abortion, whether intended as an end or a means, directly violates moral law”
Many of these schools have cut ties with the organization since this information became public.

One in nine Christian colleges linked to Planned Parenthood: report
About one in nine Christian colleges have some form of connection with Planned Parenthood, a recent investigation by the Pro-Life Generation’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement found.
The institute, an initiative of Students for Life of America, “investigated 732 colleges and universities affiliated with Christian churches in the United States for the fourth year in a row, finding that 83 … maintain some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood,” according to the report.
Michelle Venditto, director of strategic initiatives at Students for Life, told The College Fix that researchers assessed a college’s “connection to Planned Parenthood or the abortion industry in general” through an “analysis of the school’s website.”
For example, “Wesleyan College, a Methodist school in Georgia, not only refers directly for abortion on its website, but goes so far as to label it ‘abortion care’ and urges students to seek abortion quickly before state protections for preborn babies begin,” the report states.
Wesleyan College did not respond to requests for comment from The College Fix this week.
The most common connection was a link or referral to Planned Parenthood on the “Campus Help Center” landing page, Venditto said.
“Respective school administrations or related academic departments were contacted via phone and email. Our team informed them of the identified infractions for verification and to request the removal of the offending content,” she said.
“Because these Christian institutions are affiliated with a Christ-centered denomination and historical Christian faith, they should adhere to historical Biblical teachings,” Venditto told The Fix.
She also said Catholic institutions should follow church teaching, which has explicitly and consistently condemned abortion since the first century.
“The Catechism emphasizes that abortion, whether intended as an end or a means, directly violates moral law,” she said.

Back in the Stone Age when I was in school, our student handbook also had a “link” to Planned Parenthood. Back then, the big thing wasn’t abortion, but birth control, and they were one of the few sources. The pharmacies wouldn’t sell “barrier methods” to people under 21 (yeah, it was before the 26th amendment and it was New England) and for a lot of other stuff you needed a doctor’s prescription. Planned Parenthood was in the business of removing those barriers, so they got a lot of custom. They still provide those services, but you never hear about them because everyone is now focused on their abortion nexus, The point of this reminiscence is to object to sloppy statistical practice of assuming that a school is pro-abortion simply because they provide information about Planned Parenthood (and nothing further).
Is it sloppy statistical practice when they’re simply noting abortion industry connections? If they’re Christian colleges then they shouldn’t be promoting fornication support either.
😮 !
Of these Christian colleges, how many are actually Christian? Odds are most are either historically Christian, but not any longer, or affiliated with a denomination that was Christian, but is now regressive, Woke etc.
Slapping a Christian label on something doesn’t mean they adhere to Christianity 101.
Hence the letters to them. They shouldn’t be allowed to claim both.
