CV NEWS FEED // Eighty-three Christian colleges and universities in the United States have ties to support for abortion or Planned Parenthood, according to a report Students for Life of America (SFLA) recently released.

The Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement conducted the investigation, which reviewed 732 U.S. colleges and universities that are “affiliated with a Christ-centered denomination and publicly claiming historical Christian faith in its founding,” according to the study. Demetree also provided proof of infractions for each listed school that has one tie or more to abortion industry entities such as Planned Parenthood.

SFLA President Kristan Hawkins posted on her X account about the report, “We must demand these institutions sever all connections with abortion providers immediately and fully commit to the pro-life values they were founded on… true Christians cannot support abortion.”

The study gave each college and university a grade ranging from “A+” to “F.” The “F” grade means the school has four infractions or more.

Among the schools that received an “F” grade was Atlanta-based Emory University, which had eight infractions documented.

According to its website, Emory University was founded by Methodists in the 19th century. On Emory’s “Student Health” website, it states that “Emory Healthcare will perform abortions in compliance with state and federal law.”

In the proof of infractions document, several colleges and universities with low grades list Planned Parenthood as a “health resource” on their webpages.

The study also included a list of 591 Christian schools that received an “A” grade, meaning that they either had “no infractions found on their websites or their school administration cut ties with Planned Parenthood when notified by SFLA,” but also did not directly provide pro-life resources on their websites.

Fifty-eight schools received an A+ rating, meaning they not only had zero infractions, but also promoted alternatives to abortion, such as pregnancy resource centers in their respective areas.

Nany of the flags of the map supplied by SFLA show that they permit abortion as an option within the United Methodist Book of Discipline (click here).

Considering the summary presented there, one sees the the approach toward "no choice" regarding abortion is not a sane medical moral practical position for a caring human to take, all things considered, so a true position of abortion in some cases must be that of a Christian institution.

It is the details of any particular instance that must govern and prevail eventually on the question:

"Is it the life of the pre-born infant that must be terminated to preserve the bearer's existence, or should it be that of the mother in favor of the b8irth of the child?":

And that with an understanding of what might be in the mind of The Mighty God, Whose preservation of the existence of any person conceived in the womb is never thereafter questioned throughout eternity.

Under God's Will and Commandments, "Thou shalt not murder" (implying a human's physical state of life) should be under consideration, especially for the eternal consequences to the abortionist practicioner. Is that person to be thought of as a murderer and a violator of the sanctity of motherhood? (1 Timothy 2:15 AV):

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

The whole truthful aspects of this should be taught and understood by all individuals experiencing the benefits of the ivy-covered halls of learning.
