Jesuit Colleges, Planned Parenthood, and the culture of death


Two stories have emerged this week regarding Jesuit colleges and Planned Parenthood.

CatholicCulture.org reports that Canisius College, a Jesuit college in Buffalo, New York, has assisted PP in myriad ways, including helping to “maximize [the] personal and company performance” of PP of Buffalo and Erie County. Moreover, PP has participated in the college’s management development program, which offers “powerful tools and techniques to maximize personal and company performance,” as well as the college’s Fundamentals of Fundraising course.

In an otherwise unrelated story, we learned that Dr. Alyssa Harris, the assistant chair of the nursing department at Boston College, also a Jesuit institution, has held positions with PP in both Massachusetts and North Carolina. The Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing published a dissertation she co-authored entitled “The Latest Advances in Hormonal Contraception.” In the dissertation, she encourages nurses to play a significant role “in providing appropriate contraceptive information and education in a culturally competent context that will meet the needs of [African American] women and their families.” She says that black women have “a long history of lack of reproductive freedom.”
