“I know that in *Christian* colleges, used to be that if a girl got pregnant out of wedlock, she had to quit college and was sent home in shame.
What happened to the guy?
Usually nothing.
He was allowed to finish his degree and graduate and go into missions or the ministry, or something.
Mind you, I’m a Christian, but this policy absolutely ROTTED. Talk a bout a two tiered *justice* system.
That girl did NOT get pregnant in a vacuum, and yet she was always the one who bore the blame and was shamed over it.
The double standard men manage to rationalize in their minds is disgusting and hypocritical.”

Back in the 1980’s my stepmom would listen to “Focus on the family” on the radio.
I remember one day they were talking about this very situation.
One Christian college had to stop this because they found out the women were just getting abortions.
Of course they were! Christian colleges are private and that is a lot of money and they were going going to be hauled off the the Dean’s office, lose that tuition and all those credits over a pregnancy, when in fact the boy did not get kicked out.
Why did it take abortion for them to realize their mistake?
Problem is it only helped the pro aborts sell more abortions. They might as well had a shuttle bus to that school to the abortion mill.
At the time I was pro-choice as were a lot of girls in high school. That only made me more pro-choice because I saw in that story abortion giving those girls “rights” or “power over” those oppressive males and rules of that school.
At the end of my HS year I was asked by an older woman if I’d ever attend a Christian college and I was like “are you freaking kidding me lady?” She was shocked she did not understand why I answered her like I was insulted she would even ask why I would want to attend one.
It’s only because of the Catholic Church and the Blessed Virgin Mary that I’m pro-life now. Most Protestants are shocked when I say the Virgin Mary and not Jesus. In my church we have all kinds of images of the Virgin Mary holding Baby Jesus and one day while starring at one I thought to myself “if she had had an abortion we would have all been screwed”. Be so thankful the Virgin Mary chose life.
I’m prolife because murder is wrong.
It has nothing to do with Catholicism.
Most Christians I’ve ever attended church with also feel the same way and for them the stand of Catholicism has nothing to do with it either.
In our area, the Catholics aren’t involved in any pro-life events or organizations. It’s the Presbyterians and Baptists who organize the March For Life every year, fund and support the pro-life resource centers as budget line items, and help pregnant mothers in other ways. Nary one Catholic to be seen.
