Planned Parenthood, NARAL and Sex Toys Welcome on "Catholic" College Campus
SIDENOTE by Annie of After Abortion:
I'm sorry to say I'm not surprised and this is really not "news."
Coverage of this mess is found here, on the Holy Cross Alumni website.
Kristan Hawkins, of Students for Life of America, began this post, having alerted us, over at After Abortion blog, to this development and she's asked our help, folks, so I'm finishing the post and publishing it for her (hope that is ok, Kristan). Please sign the petition or send an email or make a call.
This Wednesday, on Oct 24th, Holy Cross College, A Catholic college in Massachusetts, will allow the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy to hold a seminar on their campus. This Alliance is completely at odds with teachings of the Catholic Church, but most importantly features Planned Parenthood and NARAL as part of their lineup. The Alliance advocates that youth should receive "comprehensive pregnancy prevention services" which include access to contraception and comprehensive sex education. This will give Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice of Massachusetts a venue to educate other professionals on how to reach teens with their pro-abortion message. One seminar presenter has even been known to include devices known as "sex toys" in her talks on college campuses!The petition can be signed without donating, so don't be misled by the donation screen which comes up after you submit your signature.We must ensure that Planned Parenthood and NARAL don't get a platform to push their pro-abortion agenda. We must make sure that Holy Cross abides by the policies of the Bishops and kicks out Planned Parenthood and NARAL, and doesn't condone their presence.
The President of the College, Fr. McFarland, has been asked by Bishop McManus, alumni, and students to cancel the event, but he is refusing to follow their request. Fr. McFarland sent out a rebuttal to Bishop McManus saying that he doesn't see things the same way, and that by his interpretation it's alright to allow Planned Parenthood and NARAL to come to Holy Cross.
Something is wrong at Holy Cross, help us reach the people who can change it.
Join with thousands of concerned pro-lifers and call, e-mail, or petition Holy Cross to cancel the event.
o Send an e-mail to Fr. McFarland and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees by e-mailing holycross@studentsforlife.org. This e-mail will be forwarded to Fr. McFarland, the Board, and Bishop McManus.
o Call Fr. McFarland at 508-793-2525.
o Sign the Petition to Fr. McFarland and the Holy Cross Board of Trustees by going to www.holycrossalumni.org .
