Students for Life of America is a pro-life student organization. It began in 1988 as a true student movement, and was originally called American Collegians for Life. After steady growth, they finally formally organized as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2006. At that time it changed its name to Students for Life of America. It began with a handful of full-time staff members and a few pro-life student groups, but has now grown into a very large pro-life organization with over 50 part and full-time staff that works with over 1,240 student groups. Their stated purpose is to recruit, train, and mobilize students and young adults to abolish abortion.
Recently, Students for Life conducted research on about 700 Christian colleges and universities. Of those 700, they have identified about a hundred that have ties with Planned Parenthood. Yes, you read that right, nearly 15% of Christian colleges and universities surveyed have ties with America’s largest abortion provider. The full report has not yet been released as of this writing, but so far 25 of those schools have been specifically identified. When this initial report was released, two of the identified schools immediately cut ties. The other 23 remain affiliated in some way. The kinds of connections vary, but include such things as advertising Planned Parenthood internships and career postings, referring students to Planned Parenthood as a resource, incorporating Planned Parenthood in medical school rotations, and hosting events for students with Planned Parenthood.
