Catholic University Faculty Push Back Against Pro-life Group’s Event on The Pro-Life Response to Rape

Post by Emily Stumpo, Great Lakes Regional Coordinator. On Good Friday, members of Knights for Life at Marian University, located in downtown  Indianapolis, were surprised to receive news that a faculty member in the Department of Psychology had emailed the entire list of faculty department chairs, staff and administrators to lambaste the pro-life event. The faculty member characterized the event as intending to mislead people making a pro-life event part of sexual assault awareness month. His position was that it was insensitive to survivors of sexual assault to exclusively talk about those survivors who became pregnant after their assault and that the group shouldn’t be holding the event, or at least should vastly change its content.

Macalester College Promotes Planned Parenthood as a Resource and Internship Opportunity

Students for Life of America is launching a new initiative that focuses on removing the abortion industry from Christian colleges and universities across the country. This is important because the abortion industry targets college-aged women. The Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood’s research arm, reports that women aged 18-24 make up 42% of abortions in the United States. This is precisely why Planned Parenthood builds its facilities close to college campuses. A study by Students for Life of America found that 78.8% of Planned Parenthood facilities were located less than five miles from a college campus.  

As part of this initiative, we discovered that Macalester College, a Christian college in Saint Paul, Minnesota is promoting Planned Parenthood as a resource and internship location on its website.

Here is where Planned Parenthood is on the school website:

Planned Parenthood is listed as a resource on the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center page: https://www.macalester.edu/multiculturallife/gsrc/localresources/
Planned Parenthood is listed as a Community and Global Health Internship site: https://www.macalester.edu/cgh/studentopportunities/internships/
Planned Parenthood is listed as a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies internship site: https://www.macalester.edu/wgss/studentopportunities/internships/
Planned Parenthood is listed as an academic internship: https://www.macalester.edu/career-exploration/wpcontent/uploads/sites/176/2019/08/Internship-Program-Site-List-2018-19.pdf
Planned Parenthood is listed as a resource on the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Guide: https://libguides.macalester.edu/c.php?g=549470&p=3771948
Planned Parenthood is listed as a resource on the Biology Guide: https://libguides.macalester.edu/c.php?g=839030

Christian colleges should be standing with preborn babies and for human dignity. We want to urge Macalester College President Rosenburg to remove Planned Parenthood as a resource and internship location.

We need your help to contact President Rosenburg to urge Macalester College to cut ties with Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion vendor. Take action by calling and emailing the college using our Digital Action Center here.
