Matt Lamb, associate editor of The College Fix, says he worked with Students for Life of America on an earlier version of this project that reveals, among other things, more than one in ten Christian colleges are connected to the nation's biggest abortion provider.
He explains the connection "might include... promoting internships or professors that work with abortion facilities. Wesleyan College, for example, in Georgia … actually refers students on how to get an abortion and calls it – quote – 'abortion care.'"
The most common involvement is a link or referral to Planned Parenthood on the school's website.
Of the 732 colleges and universities affiliated with U.S. Christian churches for at least four consecutive years, 83 have kept some sort of relationship with the abortion provider.
Students for Life anecdotally finds that students, parents, and even administrators are "shocked to learn a Christian institution is ignoring traditional biblical teachings," and more than 20 schools have ended their connections with Planned Parenthood since this report's release.
Other schools with infractions, however, have either not responded to Students for Life's contact attempts or have refused to cut their abortion ties.
