Earlier this month, in a response to The Observer’s article BC Law Defends Abortion Link, TFP Student Action launched an e-protest to request that BC Law remove the Planned Parenthood link from their website.
John Ritchie, TFP Student Action Director, recently updated me on the status of their protest.
“So far, we’ve collected 6,870 protest petitions to Fr. Leahy. And dozens of people have told me that they personally called his office, asking him to remove the PP link at BC Law,” said Ritchie.
He expressed hope that the protest will have an impact and that BC Law will remove the link soon. On their website, TFP Student Action reminded readers that:
“Regis University, Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame de Namur University, Loyola University New Orleans, and Marquette Law School, Rosemont College, the University of Detroit Mercy also listed Planned Parenthood on their web sites. Thank God, those listings vanished soon after Catholic World News pointed them out and TFP Student Action protested.”
