114 Christian Colleges Caught Supporting Abortion, Planned Parenthood

A new report from Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement has found that 114 Christian colleges and universities in the United States — more than one in seven — are supporting abortion in some way.

The report found these Christian universities either backing abortion or maintaining some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion company.

The investigation, conducted for the fourth consecutive year during the 2024-2025 academic year, examined 725 institutions affiliated with Christ-centered denominations that publicly claim a historical Christian faith in their founding. Schools from denominations embracing a pro-abortion stance, such as the Disciples of Christ, United Church of Christ, Quaker, and Moravian, were excluded.

Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins emphasized the incompatibility of such ties with Christian principles.

“You can’t be Christian and be pro-abortion,” Hawkins told Fox News Digital. “It’s not something you can … be flexible on.”

She continued: “If you are a Christian, you profess to serve a God who spoke the universe into existence. He sent his only son to die a painful, excruciating death, to rise again in three days so we can live in heaven for all eternity. He did that because we, as His creation, are infinitely invaluable.”

Hawkins highlighted the rise in such connections since the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“Support for abortion among Christian colleges in the United States has skyrocketed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022,” the report notes, with abortion support increasing by nearly 20% in the immediate wake of the decision and by 38.63% since 2024.More than one fourth (26.45%) of the infractions involved Christian schools referring students to Planned Parenthood as a “health resource.”

Over half of the denominations (54.5%) had at least one school with an infraction.

The report also noted positive developments: Christian schools earning an “A+” grade by promoting or supporting local Pregnancy Help Centers increased by 13.79% since 2024, with 25 new A+ schools.

During the 2024-2025 school year, 50 ties between Christian schools and Planned Parenthood were severed due to interventions and awareness efforts.

Hawkins stressed accountability within Christian education.

“Accountability for teaching a Biblical worldview and prioritizing protecting preborn babies and their mothers begins within the church,” she said in a press release. “Students for Life is partnering with parents and alumni in demanding that Christian schools offer a faith perspective on the world, including the human rights issue of our day, abortion. Shockingly, more Christian schools than ever before allowed Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry to taint campus life, and that’s risen since the end of Roe v. Wade. Clearly, the Christian Schools project will remain a priority because some schools are failing the students who should receive the best of Christian apologetics and pro-life support.”

She pointed to a specific example: “Most surprising, even the Holy Father’s alma mater, Villanova University, got an F in our report, for listing several abortion organizations on its career connection website. The last thing we want is for our best and brightest students to reject the teachings of their faith by taking a job with any organization dedicated to destroying Life in the womb. Our hope is that the Holy Father, parents, alumni, donors, and students demand that our Christian schools practice what our faith preaches.”

Schools received grades from A+ (no support for abortion and active promotion of pro-life pregnancy resources) to F (four or more infractions).

The report aims to encourage schools to sever ties with the abortion industry and promote pro-life alternatives.

“Every human being is infinitely invaluable because we were created in [God’s] own image,” Hawkins said. “To support, really what has now become, sadly, the literal human sacrifice for the God of yourself or for other ambition or career goals is to be fundamentally rejecting the truth of what it means to be a Christian and following the creator of the universe.”
