INITIAL REPORT FINDS:Planned Parenthood’s quiet relationships with many faith-based schools flies under the radar of many engaged at colleges and universities. Schools partner with Planned Parenthood by listing them as a student resource, publicizing internships and careers with the abortion giant, and more. “There is an unholy partnership between a number of Christian schools and the abortion industry,” said SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins, “but Students for Life is mobilizing pro-life advocate nationwide to cut ties with the nation’s number one abortion vendor.” WASHINGTON D.C.

A reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Nazario started her career at the Wall Street Journal two decades ago. Her book, Enrique’s Journey, recounts the perils faced by a young Honduran boy traveling north on the “train of death” to reunite with his illegal immigrant mother in the United States. She told Publisher’s Weekly that she...
