The following comes from an August 7 posting on the website of TFP Student Action.
Hiding behind a euphemistic name, Law Students for Reproductive Justice is notorious for promoting the pro-abortion agenda. Its mission in the public policy arena is designed to broaden worldwide access to surgical abortion, contraception and sex education. With activist chapters on dozens of college campuses, the group works in concert with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and abortion doctors who routinely kill unborn children.
Late-term abortionist Dr. LeRoy Carhart, for example, was a key-note speaker at the Law Students for Reproductive Justice’s 2013 Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference. In one of LiveAction’s undercover videos, Carhart explains how he kills unborn babies by lethal injection: “It’s like putting meat in a crock pot,” he said.
“Justice” in this context is nothing but a gross injustice.
However, after I expressed my concern about the club’s pro-abortion presence at the Catholic University of San Diego, I received a troubling reply from Dr. Timothy O’Malley, vice-president of university relations. In short he attempted to justify the club’s existence: “The fostering of legal expertise in all aspects of the law is consistent with the educational objectives of the USD School of Law,” he wrote….

There are other good reasons why TFP Student Action invites pro-life Americans to ask the University of San Diego to withdraw its recognition of the Law Students for Reproductive Justice.
— A fact sheet published by the LSRJ states that “abortion is an important component of ensuring and promoting women’s health.” (Source)
— The New York University chapter of LSRJ provides “escorting at local Planned Parenthood clinics” and also sponsors an “annual Sex Toy Party.” (Source)
— At the University of Wisconsin, LSRJ recruits students to volunteer with Planned Parenthood.
— At the University of Texas, LSRJ co-hosted a speech by Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards in 2012. (Source)
— LSRJ at Boston College Law School “works on reproductive health and choice issues such as global family planning, comprehensive sex education, contraceptive equity and birth control options, safe, legal and accessible abortion…” (Source)

[For example] I’m deeply concerned because I found out that USD gives full club status to the pro-abortion group, Law Students for Reproductive Justice. Abortion is wrong, a grave sin against God. How can this happen at a Catholic university? Doesn’t USD believe in the right to life? It’s time to roll back the culture of death and rescind LSRJ’s club status at the University of San Diego. Thank you.

Do you have a similar problem on your campus?
Let us know about it here.
Pope Francis Said The problem is not having this orientation, it is lobbying. That’s the most serious problem I think.”
I can rephrase it and say
The problem is not having this lack of understanding of church teaching on life, The problem is is lobbying (for sinful) behaviors. That’s the most serious problem I think
The murder of innocents for the convenience of others is the most serious problem.
I’m literally sick to my stomach!!!!!
Let me get this right, here in the S.F. Bay Area we could not have a pro-life
table at a ‘Catholic’ activities fair, but down in San Diego you’re allowed
a radical pro-abortion club?! Makes sense, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elizabeth,
Are you serious about being prohibited from having a pro-life table at a Catholic fair? Who sponsored the fair?
Elizabeth, was this some Catholic college?
I can’t imagine that a pro-life table could be banned — for goodness’ sake, what’s more Catholic than being pro-life???????????????
If they were honest, their group would be Fake Catholics for Killing Unborn Babies. When will the bishop in San Diego defend the faith?
Killing an unborn child is murder. Why hasn’t Bishop Brom stopped the University of San Diego, this so-called Catholic university, from promoting abortion by this student organization, Law Students for Reproductive Justice? Since Bishop Brom hasn’t ordered the University to cease promoting abortion, it seems that he probably approves of it. What say you Bishop Brom?
In addition to contacting the University’s Board of Trustees, contact Bishop Robert H. Brom.
If the University does not stop all pro-abortion and pro-sodomy groups from being on campus, then the Bishop needs to do his job and stop the University from calling itself “Catholic” in accord with the Code of Canon Law #808.

In addition each Catholic University and Catholic College must adhere to: “APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION OF THE SUPREME PONTIFFJOHN PAUL II”

ON CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES
This link lists the universities and colleges currently hosting chapters of this poisonous organization: https://lsrj.org/chapters/. There are several major, self-identified Catholic schools listed, including Santa Clara and Gonzaga on the west coast.
…And, of course, the University of San Francisco. The Jesuits are prominently represented. I wonder if Pope Francis, especially since he himself is a Jesuit, could place all the US provinces directly under his/Vatican control and finally start addressing their scandalous behavior?
Bishop Brom hasn’t a clue about what he should be doing as a “Defender of the Faith” or worse yet, doesn’t care. Either way, his name would be a lot more pleasant to see with “Emeritus” at the end.
Prayers are so needed, prayers, fasting and sacrifice for the delivery of students on all Catholic campuses. The enemy has stolen our future by targeting our babies. Yes, these vulnerable young people are still babies. The children they will deny the right to live are developing inutero and they continue to develop after being born. They still have developing brains. Pray that they will come to see the errors they promote and use their lives for good. Don’t give up on them.
Sarah, thank you for your observation. I would take it even further. What do we hear from other Archbishops and Bishops in California. Bishop Robert Vasa of Santa Rosa is one of our most pro life Bishops in the U.S. And every time he speaks for the unborn, he is loudly criticized – not only by the liberal secular media but by Catholics. Where are the other Bishops and why do they not instruct the pastors in their individual dioceses to speak on the subject of abortion from the altar. We never, ever hear this in a homily. But we surely will hear of a pilgrimage promoted by a fellow priest. Forget the pilgrimages and instruct the faithful on the Five Intrinsic Evils!
Say No to Gilberts
Misandry (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) is The Tenure Track in the pathetic farce of Academentia, and all the more so in the Orwellian nightmare of ‘law school’.
I remember Admiral / Doktor / Twysted Syster Mary (now dented-prez of the sandy dayglow midden heap) when she was at the California Maritime Academy, which she was unable to sink only because it was on dry ground.
As for the Rest – Cardinal Newman society shared this Wise advice for avoiding infestation by ‘Gilberts’:
“Don’t Encourage Youth to Identify as ‘Gay,’ Says Courage Leader

Drag shows, LGBT Pride marches, and lavender graduations. Those are just some of the events becoming increasingly commonplace on Catholic campuses throughout the country.
In recent decades, the response to homosexuality has been to confuse love with acceptance of anything and everything. Many Catholics have watched “ally” groups on campus turn into advocacy groups.
Father Paul Check, the director of Courage, an apostolate which ministers to people with same-sex attraction who want to live by the Catholic Church’s sexual teachings, gave an interview to Catholic World Report where he talks about the harm caused when Catholics do not respond in faith.
Fr. Check says young people with some level of same-sex attraction must be “guided properly so that self-entanglement doesn’t take place” and warns against young people accepting the LGBT label:

Someday, should the world regain it’s common sense and logic, (up for grabs in Obama’s dystopian world) and that situation would be akin to how the world was @ the time of the Nuremburg Trials, ALL of these groups, i.e., P.P., NARAL, CATHOLICS FOR A FREE CHOICE, and LSRJ, aka TFP Student Action ?, the subject of this story, will be subject to the charge of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, just like the Nazi high command was @ the close of WWII in 1946. And in some ways, these anti-life pro-abort killer groups like the ones just cited above are WORSE than the Nazi’s. For they were and are heir to the latest findings of fact through the medical disciplines of embryology and fetology. There is literally NO EXCUSE for all these groups to DOUBLE DOWN in their evil advocacies of KILLING innocent defenseless unborn human life, as they INCESSANTLY do through their very vocal and written participation in keeping abortion legal and available at ALL TIMES and AT ALL THE VARIOUS STAGES OF UNBORN HUMAN LIFE, for ANY REASON or NO REASON AT ALL. Have they NEVER HEARD of the experimentation done by Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the medical architect for the passage of Roe V. Wade IN 1973? After the passage of R.V.W., he went back to do further study and conduct more research re unborn human life, as he began to have DOUBTS as to the radical law he had just helped go through to victory in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dare I quote the Pope again? “Who are we to judge?” USD has a Drag Queen celebration every year… did we not think this would be far behind? Unless we start to ‘take back’ our Church and consider what Christ might have us do and how He would want us to live, this is the path we will continue to travel. So, from the Pope on down… we need ‘to judge’ whether or not our actions meet the standards of the Catholic faith. If institutions, such as USD, choose to not practice the faith then, at the very least, their title as a ‘Catholic’ institution needs to be revoked.
