Georgetown U. Abortion Activists Threaten to Withhold Donations
The College Fix ^ | 8/7/22 | Staff

Posted on 08/14/2022 6:28:51 PM PDT by marshmallow

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, student activists at Georgetown University are threatening to withhold donations if the school doesn’t change its policies regarding “reproductive and family freedom.”

According to The Hoya, the law student chapter of the “reproductive justice-focused group” If/When/How and H*yas for Choice began a “No Donation Pledge” which requests that students and others “withhold donations towards the university endowment and unrestricted items” until certain “action items” are addressed.

“In short,” the pledge reads, “no choice at Georgetown – no donations for Georgetown.”

It concludes: “Choice is fundamental to personal liberty and academic equity. Our students deserve to learn and grow in a community that supports their family and bodily autonomy. Georgetown has cowered on this principle for far too long, and the time to demand long-lasting change is now.”

The groups, with support from organizations such as the Black Law Students Association, Georgetown University College Democrats and Georgetown Law Socialist Student Union, “request” that the university health center begin providing contraceptives, that Georgetown “allocate equal funding to pro-choice groups and endeavors” and end its “inordinate” support for the “anti-choice” Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life.

The response should be: “sorry to see you go.”

I am sure there are plenty of prospective students to replace these idiots with. Let them leave the school, Georgetown will be better off without them.

I have a cousin who graduated from Georgetown, he’s nothing but an entitled parasite. My uncle said it’s the worst money he ever spent.

Georgetown made this bed a long time ago.

But I’d be real curious to see the amounts they’re talking about. I don’t see this as being multi million dollar donations. But I could be wrong.

i can guarantee you, the angry, pink-haired leftists are as stingy as they come - they do not donate to anything, because they don’t believe in anything.

I know the type. Washington DC infects everyone with entitlement and arrogance. That's why I always say - term limits should apply to Fed.gov bureaucrats FIRST. It has something to do with being around the execution of power over others.

Donations from college students?

They don’t donate anyway, it’s the rich alumni that donate.

They are one of the ten most heavily endowed institutes of higher learning in the US. They can afford it.

Not a problem. Just make sure that those students who support this don’t get any money from the Endowment. Indeed, I’d levy an Instructional Tax that such students would have to pay to attend classes since often endowment funds help pay for faculty salaries.

They are students AND activist, they will never be donating to anything. There is a reason why activist are socialist, they want everyone else’s money.

Being generous with their vote is the antithesis of true generocity.

If old Ahab had taken Naboth’s vineyard claiming, merely claiming, he wanted it to grow vegetables for Samaria’s poor he would be a hero to the modern Left ... even if it turned out his gardners and himself ate all the food.

I can’t stand bullies. They have the national and local news media censoring and brainwashing their side. They have social media doxing, shadowbanning and banning. They have adademia grading F for conservatives and A and B for leftists, plus jeering at people they don’t agree with. They have rigged vote counting so they’ll win every time like loaded dice. they won the House, Senate, Presidency and many governor’s chairs.

And then they bully.

We were somewhat over 18 years too late for your abortion operation.

Could you line up against that wall please.
