Students for Life of America's
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS PROJECT
HELP US REMOVE PLANNED PARENTHOOD FROM CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS
In January of 2026, Student for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement released their annual Christian Schools Project Report, which reviewed 725 Christian colleges and universities and found that 114 schools still maintain ties to the abortion industry. The report documented 533 infractions, a 115.79% increase from last year. More than one in seven Christian colleges now list Planned Parenthood or other abortion vendors as “health” resources, promote abortion-related internships, or highlight abortion groups in course materials.
At the same time, 66 schools earned A+ ratings by rejecting abortion-industry influence and promoting life-affirming pregnancy help. The gap between compromised and faithful schools continues to grow.
If you are a student, parent, alum, donor, or concerned Christian, you can call these schools back to their stated mission.

ASK BISHOPS TO DEFEND THE FLOCK AT CATHOLIC COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
As part of our 2025 Christian Schools Project, Students for Life of America discovered that more than 1 in 7 Christian colleges and universities maintain ties to the abortion industry. And Catholic institutions were no exception.
The battle against the Culture of Death is a spiritual battle as well as a cultural one, and the Catholic Church needs her shepherds to act. Catholic bishops have a unique responsibility to guard the faith and protect the vulnerable. We’re asking them to:
- Review Catholic schools in their diocese with abortion ties
- Instruct those schools to remove abortion-related referrals and events
- Ensure life-affirming support is available to pregnant and parenting students
Take Action
- Explore the schools below.
- Click on any Take Action link.
- Send a respectful but firm message to the bishop responsible for that school to defend Life, protect students, and properly exemplify the light of Christ.
