Georgetown University in the nation's capital pride itself on being "founded in 1789” and “the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit university."

Georgetown is still a Jesuit University but it hasn't beeb a "Catholic" University for over a quarter of a century. I went to Catholic University across town and waaaaay back then we were surprised and angered by the pro-abortion activities of the faculty staff and student government.

Looks like Georgetown already got around to pulling their site. I am sure the pro-life organizations are all over this already. I hope they saved the webpages...I did.

So long as the basketball team made the sweet 16, nobody cared.

I'm kind of surprised some others aren't on this list.

"Georgetown is still a Jesuit University but it hasn't beeb a "Catholic" University for over a quarter of a century."

Our daughter attended Georgetown Visitation when it was still a Catholic school and we used Georgetown Hospital for that reason. These days we still use the Hospital out of choice but it can hardly be thought of as Catholic.

We figure it has a chance of a better atmosphere than the Fairfax Hospital abortion mill which could be our alternative and of which I have heard many bizzare examples of lack of care or attention. My sense is that an organization so intent on taking life is hardly prepared to adequately also serve to heal or further life.
