1 in 10 Christian Schools Have Ties to Planned Parenthood, Abortion Industry. Which Denomination is the Worst?
Ten percent of Colleges and Universities affiliated with Christian Churches in the United States have a relationship with Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry, according to Students for Life, who surveyed all 767 schools as part of their Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement project.
SFL goal is to “raise public awareness of Christian schools maintaining relationships with Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby in order to encourage infracting schools to restore their Christian values by cutting ties with the industry of death.”
Accordingly, each institution’s “mission statement and historical background were reviewed by researchers to ensure their identification with Christian values before inclusion in the final list of 767 Christian colleges and universities.” Once established, they looked for instances of partnership and promotion of the abortion industry, ranging anywhere from the schools offering internship opportunities at Planned Parenthood to hosting pro-abortion rallies, to providing it as a health resource on their website. The schools were also contacted by phone and by email for clarity.
Each instance of pro-choice received an infraction, and then tallied between A+ to F
Of the 767 schools surveyed, 691 received an A or A+, 76 had at least one infraction, and 16 schools receiving an F. Some examples of infractions include:
“Oklahoma City University (OCU), a Methodist campus in Oklahoma, lists Planned Parenthood a total of five times throughout their website as the abortion giant is linked as a “Health & Wellness” resource, covering categories such as Sexual Health, Women’s Health, Local Hospitals and Physicians, and Sexually Transmitted Disease help.”
Monrovian College, a school of the Monrovian Church in Pennsylvania, lists Planned Parenthood as an acceptable internship within their Psychology Department and has defended this relationship via email communication “We have told you we will continue to support the internship at Planned Parenthood for our students because it is important for them to best understand the world they are entering.”
Holy Cross College, a Jesuit Catholic college in Massachusetts, was awarded an A+ grade in 2021; however, following the reversal of Roe, their Women and Gender Studies department used the school’s website to “condemn” the decision, thereby demonstrating their commitment to abortion over biblical values.
Naturally, the worst offenders were from the ELCA UMC and PCUSA, woke Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian Universities from mainline denominations.
Students for Life report that the amount of Christian schools promoting Planned Parenthood and abortion has increased 10% since their last survey two years ago.

Not the least surprised. Just because an organization has the word “Christian” in its name, doesn’t mean it is in the biblical sense.
