Jesuit Seattle University Must Sever Planned Parenthood Ties

P>MANASSAS, VA. (Cardinal Newman Society) - 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 numerous connections to Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion rights organizations. The Catholic Church's unequivocal condemnation of abortion renders a Catholic university's association with any pro-abortion rights organization grossly inappropriate.
"Seattle University, as a Catholic and Jesuit institution, has a God-given responsibility to live up to its religious identity," said Patrick J. Reilly, CNS President. "Such an identity certainly precludes involvement with those organizations facilitating the slaughter of the innocents. May Seattle University today turn a corner and resolve to sever these scandalous connections."
Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life of America noted, "Promoting and glorifying Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations on any campus is unacceptable, most especially on a Catholic campus. Planned Parenthood is the nation's abortion Goliath and has repeatedly been found to protect rapists, racists, and sex traffickers of minors. Time and time again, Planned Parenthood has proved its business is abortion, plain and simple. Seattle University must remove Planned Parenthood from campus and sever all ties with the abortion industry."
Instances of Seattle University's cooperation with Planned Parenthood, as found on the University website, include: referring students to Planned Parenthood for "sexual health" services; allowing and promoting student internships with Planned Parenthood; hiring employees with past experience with Planned Parenthood and highlighting that experience on the University's website; and honoring students for their past work with Planned Parenthood.
Among the groups that signed on were Priests for Life, Human Life International, Susan B. Anthony List, Concerned Women for America, Live Action, Human Life Alliance, Catholics United for the Faith, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, Culture of Life Foundation, and many others.
Other pro-abortion rights organizations with connections to Seattle University, also uncovered on the University's website, include the Feminist Majority Foundation, Legal Momentum, and the National Organization for Women. Read the summary of the University's pro-abortion rights connections here.
