Abortion Groups Still Promoted at Catholic Seattle University Despite 20,927 Complaints

Planned Parenthood Still Promoted at Catholic Seattle University Despite 20,927 Complaints

Over 20,000 students and parents have politely asked Seattle University, a Catholic Jesuit-run university, not to promote student internships for Planned Parenthood. The formal request also calls for the removal of several web site links that channel students to abortion advocacy groups.

Despite the large number of complaints, however, Planned Parenthood is still listed on the university’s web site and the pro-abortion links remain up and running. Abortion advocacy groups currently listed under “get involved” include: Feminist Majority Foundation, Legal Momentum, National Organization for Women (NOW), and National Organization for Women, Seattle Chapter.

More Pro-Life Leaders Speak Out

Since TFP Student Action started its peaceful protest in February, a group of 16 national pro-life leaders, led by The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) and Students for Life of America (SFLA), sent a letter to the president of Seattle University calling on him to put an end to the institution’s connections to Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations.

SHOCKER: Catholic College Helps Planned Parenthood

SHOCKER: Catholic College Helps Planned Parenthood

Should Catholic universities aid Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups? The answer is obviously NO. However, Seattle University – a Catholic institution – offers students the option of interning for Planned Parenthood of Western Washington on its web site.

This shocking scandal must be opposed.

PROTEST HERE

Unfortunately it gets worse. The Women Studies department at Seattle University encourages students to “get involved” with pro-abortion groups.

The Women Studies web page states: “On the Seattle University Campus, in the Northwest, and across the Nation there are countless women’s organizations for you to get involved with. Here are some links to help you get started.”

Immediately after this “get involved” offer, students find pro-abortion groups such as the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority and Legal Momentum.

Please help TFP Student Action counter the culture of death at Seattle University by alerting your pro-life friends about this issue. Spread the word by email, facebook, blogs and other social media.
