The following comes from a Dec. 2 posting on Campus Reform.
Students for Life of America, the nation’s largest youth pro-life organization, launched a new website today for college students facing unexpected pregnancies.
“We’re really just hoping to kind of assuage those fears that a young mother may have and lead her toward some good resources.”
Driven by and for students, Pregnant On Campus serves as an alternative resource for students who may not be aware of various pregnancy and parenting resources available on and around their respective campuses.
“It’s a site where pregnant students [can] search for resources that are available for them at their own campuses so they don’t have to choose between their baby and their education,” Students for Life director of communications Kristina Hernandez told Campus Reform.
The sleek new website will compete with top abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood, which has popularized itself on college campuses in recent years.
Planned Parenthood has promoted its pro-abortion message on campuses nationwide by providing discounted Plan B contraceptives and free condoms, inviting students to attend “reproductive justice training,” and promoting the use of abortion pills at college wellness fairs. According to Students for Life, “nearly 80 percent of Planned Parenthood facilities are located within five miles of a college or university.”
“It’s no secret that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry have some of the best marketing strategies out there as far as targeting young people goes so our goal is to come back with our own so a young girl isn’t just seeing Planned Parenthood advertising toward her and she’s aware that she can do both [continue her education and raise a child],” Beth Rahal, Pregnant On Campus initiative coordinator, told Campus Reform in an interview.
“We’re really just hoping to kind of assuage those fears that a young mother may have and lead her toward some good resources,” Rahal said.
Pregnant On Campus enables students at over 530 colleges to locate nearby pregnancy and parenting resources. Each school profile provides emotional, financial, and material resources including but not limited to: peer-to-peer support; off-campus housing; clothing and food assistance; child care; adoption agencies; counseling, available also for post-abortive women; and community or religious organizations.

This is really great. The youth of today are going to have to undo what we elders did with their thoughtful responses. Positive responses to pregnancy and warmth toward mothers is the key. Where we panicked, they have decided not to be driven by fear. That alone is an improvement. They understand where we didn’t. I am grateful that we can rely on them and we can support them with prayer and allow them to lead the fight now. Their enthusiasm is wonderful. Glory to God for their being here.
Glorious idea!!!!!
Of course, almost all colleges encourage abortion and advertise abortion mills.
How stupid they are to promote the killing of a future generation of college applicants. They are already seeing the adverse decline of eligible young students.
Now colleges reach out to the older community. The good thing about this is that more of these awful professors will be out of work fairly soon as colleges trim their work force due to loss of students.
Don’t bet on it.
Pope Francis appears to be demoting Faithful Bishops who adhere to Sacred Scripture and the Doctrine of the Faith (CCC),
and promoting evil Bishops like Wuerl, Cupich, etc –
https://www.gloria.tv/media/cauLNDua6JH
Regarding CUPICH – Doctrine of the Faith is very clear that one many NOT receive GRACE while in the State of Mortal Sin.
CCC: ” 1861 Mortal sin is a radical possibility of human freedom, as is love itself.
It results in the loss of charity and the privation of sanctifying grace,
that is, of the state of grace.
If it is not redeemed by repentance and God’s forgiveness, it causes exclusion from Christ’s kingdom and the eternal death of hell, for our freedom has the power to make choices for ever, with no turning back.
However, although we can judge that an act is in itself a grave offense, we must entrust judgment of persons to the justice and mercy of God.
Without saying so, heretics like Wuerl, Cupich and others in effect remove the need for the Sacrament of Penance in their public statements.
They remove the need for repentance; they remove the need to promise to sin no more.
Pete,
Subsitute “appears” with “is” and your comments would be more accurate! Pray for Pope Francis I that he stops following the modernist and actually follows St. Francis who always opposed SIN even when it was supported by members of the hierarchy!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
Praise God! The tide is turning. God Bless these young people who got the message and are working/praying to save the unborn children. Everyone, please keep these savvy young people in our prayers – especially the Rosary. This is like the battle of Lepanto and we are winning! St. Michael the Archangel, watch over them and protect them and keep them strong in their mission.
God bless our youth!!!!
