Catholic law school has ‘pro-choice’ student organization that provides escorts for Planned Parenthood
December 18, 2009
The law school of one of the nation’s leading Jesuit universities has a student organization that advocates for legalized abortion. Law Students for Reproductive Justice-- one of the Fordham University School of Law’s 35 student organizations-- believes that “every person, regardless of gender, race, class, or ethnicity, has the right to choose whether or not to have sex, use contraception, or have a child. Our projects include brownbags with reproductive rights activists, an ongoing escort program in partnership with Planned Parenthood of New York City, a research partnership with local pro-choice legal organizations, and internship opportunities.”
Founded in 1841, Fordham University has 14,666 students, 7,994 of whom are undergraduates.

Cardinal Dulles must be spinning right now. Perhaps we should pray for a peaceful death and swift entry into the afterlife. I hold no grudge. The fullness of heaven is fine. Better there than here. MBY

I deny that Fordham is a Catholic law school or that the university is a Catholic university. The emperor has had no clothes for some time. Why keep up the charade? Put another way: does the Holy See have the gumption to deal with Ex Corde Ecclesiae and the reform of the Society of Jesus in the United States?
