Exposing Abortion Industry Influence on Religious CampusesEach year, Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement reviews 725 Christian-affiliated colleges and universities to identify abortion industry influence and to hold schools accountable until those ties are cut. In 2025, more than 1 in 7 Christian colleges and universities maintained ties to the abortion industry. Christian education is not compatible with abortion.
After findings were released, Students for Life:
- Contacted school leadership multiple times
- Alerted administrators and governing bodies to abortion industry ties
- Mobilized students, alumni, and supporters
- Applied public accountability when necessary
Our work directly led to policy reversals and severed abortion industry relationships.

Ask Catholic Bishops to Defend the Flock
Catholic bishops have a unique responsibility to guard the faith and protect the vulnerable. Ask your bishop to ensure that the Catholic institutions in his diocese reflect Church teaching on the dignity of human life.
Using the dropdown below, YOU can ask your bishop to:
