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 Ohio Wesleyan University, a Christian college in Delaware, Ohio 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 currently listed as a Spanish internship: https://www.owu.edu/about/offices-services-directory/career-connection/careerresources/resources-for-students/finding-an-internship/internship-inventory/spanish/
• Planned Parenthood is currently listed as a resource on the “Resources and Opportunities” page: https://www.owu.edu/academics/departments-programs/womensand-gender-studies-program/resources-opportunities/
• Planned Parenthood is currently listed as a Psychology internship: https://www.owu.edu/about/offices-services-directory/career-connection/careerresources/resources-for-students/finding-an-internship/internship-inventory/psychology/
• Planned Parenthood is currently listed as a resource on the “LGBTQIA+ Resources for OWU Students” page: https://library.owu.edu/c.php?g=464329&p=3207150
• Planned Parenthood is currently listed as a Politics and Government internship: https://www.owu.edu/academics/departments-programs/department-of-politicsgovernment/arneson-institute/wesleyan-in-washington/internships/

Christian colleges should be standing with preborn babies and for human dignity. We want to urge Ohio Wesleyan University President Jones to remove Planned Parenthood as a resource and internship location.

We need your help to contact President Jones to urge Ohio Wesleyan University 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.
