Should Catholic universities aid Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups? The answer is obviously NO. However, Seattle University – a Catholic institution – offers students the option of interning for Planned Parenthood of Western Washington on its web site.
This shocking scandal must be opposed.
Unfortunately it gets worse. The Women Studies department at Seattle University encourages students to “get involved” with pro-abortion groups.
The Women Studies web page states: “On the Seattle University Campus, in the Northwest, and across the Nation there are countless women’s organizations for you to get involved with. Here are some links to help you get started.”

Please tell me you were not aware of this activity at your University. How could you have known and allowed it?
Are you not in communion with our church leaders and teachings? Do you think you're being "cool" and that the kids will like you for being a rebel? Is it smart to lead Seattle University against the parents who pay tuition for their childrens' CATHOLIC education? Are you aware of the millions upon millions of dollars Notre Dame lost through its insulting on-going action?
Please tell me what you think you will accomplish by your actions. Perhaps you are right and the Catholic church is wrong; is that it?
Sincerely,
The Byman Family.
I am dismayed that a university operated by the Society of Jesus is supporting a despicable organization founded by a virulent racist Margaret Sanger. What would Saint Ignatius Loyola say? The Women's Study Department at the university would appear to be espousing the Fascist ideology of such evil women as Irma Grese aka the "bitch" of Belsen, a product of Hitler's Final Solution. Today's holocaust is the slaughter of the unborn by Planned Parenthood and it's minions. Shame on Seattle University, a supposedly Catholic institution for supporting Planned Parenthood's "Final Solution". Please act now to stop this outrage on your campus.
I come from generations of Seattle U. Graduates. Our families supported the school with the G.I. Bill, grants, loans,scholarships, our hard-earned money and our prayers. Our goal was to produce educated Catholics. You are producing educated secularists. Our most recent graduate was in 2009. This student was a straight A student. And the only way she could keep her grades up to get through the nursing program at your university was to keep quite about her pro-life views. We will not be supporting Seattle U. any longer.
Sincerely,
Margaret Dornay
Several people in my family have graduated from SU, and I myself was headed there after graduating from the Matteo Ricci College at Seattle Prep, but chose to go elsewhere. My own children are now of college age and I can assure you Seattle University has now been crossed off the list of potential college options for them.
Please, I beg you, return to the TRUTH of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and the roots of the Jesuit education tradition!
Please, I ask you, to let me know that this is all a mistake and not really happening. If students are sent there at this time, I beg you to stop it before Lent!. In prayer

Please help lead our young adults to follow Jesus, and in following Jesus we must teach them the Ten Commandments. God gives life. Let us preserve the lives of the unborn. Life is sacred.
Hopefully the President will promptly be dismissed and a new one appointed with the mission of re-engineering the university. This new leader will not hesitate to bring it in line with the mission and teachings of the Catholic faith in order to educate Catholics so that they may be true to Jesus Christ's Church and effective in the world.
In Holy Love,

I hope that what has been reported as a promotion in a Catholic Univeristy in the Jesuit tradition was a bad mistake. Planned Parenthood and Catholic do not go together - the values are diametrically opposed. Please bring your institution back to its core values!
Thanks -I know you will do the right thing.
Do you think supporting internships at Planned Parenthood adds millstones around your neck? Are you not, Fr. Sundborg, concerned about material and formal cooperation with evil? Don't you think it a little odd that a Catholic university gives aid to highly profitable abortion providers?
Please Fr. Sundborg, support the Catholic Church's mission to save lives, bring people to Christ, and save souls. Help lead the Church to fulfill its mission, not undermine it by supporting Planned Parenthood's baby killing operations.

How can you allow Planned Parenthood anywhere near a Catholic University, unless they are coming with a contrite heart to repent and beg forgiveness for the evil they have perpetrated? Even our secular federal gov't is looking at removing all funding to PP. Please remove the internship with Planned Parenthood offered by Seattle University. Please be the beacon of faith that your fellow Catholics need.
I have been concerned about the direction of Seattle University ever since I attended in the early 1980's. But the association with Planned Parenthood, through "Public Affairs Student Internships", is perhaps the most troubling development. As a moral outrage consistently condemned by the Church, abortion allows no room for differing interpretations. I can only hope that you are unaware of this internship offering, and that you will put a stop to it at once.
Yours in Christ,

Regarding your students interning for Planned Parenthood. Clearly and undeniably you must have serious knowledge voids regarding the nature of life, The Church's Teaching re. abortion and ultimately about the dynamics of life, living and humanity. This demonic organization destroys humanity and the purpose for which Christ was incarnated. The vulnerable minds and desperate souls of misdirected women are being further subject to psychological harm and anguish with this plastic and falsely impractical pursuit. Christ in His Mercy will forgive those who have taken a false course and entered into contract with Planned Parenthood, but for an institution whose foundation and mission is life...your invitation to Planned parenthood is inexcusable.
What possible reason or benefit could there be in doing an internship at a Planned Parenthood facility, except emmulation and testimony for later life of the students. Would you send your kin there to ingest the poison of the culture of death and deceit? Please, "Change your heart this time...."
On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)
"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

Do your research and learn more about Margaret Sanger and her evil views.

I would like to hear the justification for this. My daughter who is attending a Catholic university back east was excused from class to march in the pro-life march in Washington DC recently. Now this sounds like what are young people should be doing!

If what I am reading is true, this is a shame. Sadly shame is not the correct word. Jesuits are supposed to be the leading order in the teachings of Jesus. Please inform the Catholic community where Jesus taught abortion. He did not, nor did our Lord teach acceptance for such things. If you support abortion then please take your views and your education (paid for by parishioners) somewhere else. This is an embarrassment to our University system. Father my prayers are with you for the Lord to guide you and for you to listen for the correct action. I am not as smart as most BUT I know abortion = murder. Thou shall not kill.
This is a travesty & is sacrilegious.
Additionally, we need to pray for those who have abandoned the dogma of our faith & sending an errant message to our secular society that sinful living is ordained by the Catholic Church.
St Michael, please defend your students who trust that they who are supposed to be in a Christian school and should expect Christian teaching are in need of it badly. Protect them by the power God gives you.

Please uphold Church teaching regarding abortion and do not allow advertisement of pro-abortion groups on official school web-sites.
Thank you.

I am truly distressed at what is happening to the Jesuit Order. You are one of many, who by your "go with the flow" attitude are in an undeclared war with the Catholic Church.
You left Our Lord who is in the Tabernacle. You left Our Lord because of human error and sin. You left Our Lord? You should be there comforting Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament. If i let people who do not do the Will of God get to me, i would have left long ago. No!!! You left Our Lord.
Peace
It is disheartening to learn that an order of priests with such a strong record of teaching and defending the Catholic faith contains members who disregard the sacredness of individual human life. Please do all you can to teach and strengthen care for all the "little ones" who are loved by our Lord and Savior.
I presume that you knew about this being the president and especially given the publicity SU's tie up with PP has had recently, yet allows it for the sake of promoting balanced, mature and responsible decision-making. While I value balanced, mature and responsible decision-making, consider the implication and direct cause of your permissibility. The Catholic institution that you head effectively facilitates the promotion of abortion by your tie up with PP. And to whom? To the young generation who eventually will become leaders of our land. It is a fact that to make a balanced mature choice one must be exposed to all sides. Intellectual exposure is one, but direct promotion is another. I presume you are also aware of this, yet chose to promote PP than to look for other ways to present balanced views. So then, I think the solution is to cease being a Catholic educational institution.
eugenic is not the care of the poor it is the eradication of them.there are plenty of organizations, clinics,etc. that offer these services that do not include the genocide/slaughter of the unborn, catholic or any other should know this bible 101.
St Michael, please defend your students who trust that they who are supposed to be in a Christian school and should expect Christian teaching are in need of it badly. Protect them by the power God gives you.where does the Bible teach "murder the little children is not taught in scripture.
Amen!!!!
Sorry to gain say your comment to R.A,BUT the Holy Scripture instructs we who are believes to turn away and shun the workers of iniquity.To do such is not turning away from God but is obeying God and shielding oneself from the works of evil influence.
Jesus wants us to follow HIS Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20!
Yes, it's 3 Steps and an Awesome promise! 1. Teach people everywhere what it is to follow him (MAKE DISCIPLES) 2. BAPTIZE THEM (someone old enough to understand,not sprinkle infants!) 3. Teach them to obey everything(BE IN THE BIBLE!)
His Promise-" I will Be With You"
