(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Planned Parenthood is targeting college students by placing a majority of its facilities within 5 miles of campuses.
Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement claimed in a Tuesday report that 87.6% of PP’s 563 facilities are located within 5 miles of a college campus, which is an 8.6% increase since SFL conducted the study nearly 10 years ago.
“This demonstrates that the Gen Z demographic is being targeted as a customer of the abortion giant more than ever before, as the location of Planned Parenthood facilities appears inextricably tied to the location of a college campus,” the report stated, according to the Daily Caller.
Approximately 16% of the open facilities are operating in a state that has outlawed abortion. As a “solution,” PP tells young college girls to get an abortion in neighboring states that have not made murdering unborn babies illegal. Out of all of these 59 facilities, only three of them are not located within 5 miles of a college campus.
“It’s painfully obvious that Planned Parenthood is preying on college students, and this is yet another reason that we need to defund the abortion giant,” Caroline Wharton, SFLA press strategist said.
“American taxpayers do not want to aid in the victimization of college-aged women as they are manipulated to their emotional/physical detriment to end the lives of their babies for the abortion industry’s profit.”
The report also said that college-aged girls see abortion as the only available choice, so it recommends expanding pro-life outreach on college campuses and increasing community awareness of local pregnancy centers.
In its first year, SFLA’s Campaign for Abortion-Free Cities found out that 73% of community members were unaware of local Pregnancy Help Centers. Within one year, the campaign increased awareness by 10% by pushing online advertisements and through door-to-door messaging.
“Equipping students with their local life-affirming resources is the foundation needed for breaking trust with Planned Parenthood,” the report stated. “Success is found from these grassroots efforts, not from expecting state laws to eliminate abortion immediately.”
Wharton pointed out once again that it is very important to inform female college students that abortion is not the only available option.
“The findings of this report also highlight the importance of the Pro-Life Generation’s work to bring life-affirming resources on campus. Young women in unplanned pregnancies should never feel that Planned Parenthood is the only place they can turn,” Wharton said.
“Instead, our student groups alongside our initiative StandingWithYou provide these women with resources and a support system that can be life-changing for her and life-saving for her baby.”
