“One of the other reasons I have heard is that often the Christian university’s reactions to a pregnant unwed student is part of the problem.
When a girl turns up pregnant, she is kicked out of the school, and sent home in shame, all her plans and degree demolished, but almost always, nothing is done about the BOY who got her pregnant.
He is not forced to leave the school, he can finish his degree program and sometimes go on into the ministry. His whole life isn’t ruined by the episode.
It’s that double standard again that is so reprehensible.”

I was just talking about this to someone to night GERRY.
I first heard about a story like that back in the 80’s on “Focus on the Family”. One Christian University had to stop doing just that because they found out the women were getting abortions. Of course they were! Christian Universities were not cheap. If it’s a toss up between loosing all their credits and tuition money and a baby they will get an abortion. Plus like you said the boy was never punished.
I tell you this. I heard a Protestant preacher once say “Don’t chase your daughter to the abortion clinic”. He knew the score.
