If you think your kids are safe from the tentacles of the abortion industry by sending them to a Christian college, you are mistaken.
According to a new report by Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement (IPA), more than one in seven Christian colleges violated their professed faith in the 2024-2025 school year by keeping links with Planned Parenthood or the abortion industry.
According to a story by The Daily Wire, that’s fully one in seven colleges publicly proclaiming Christ while privately transgressing the most basic Christian value: the dignity of life.
“That’s not counting the myriads of colleges that plaster the name of Christ on top of an otherwise completely secular school,” according to Mary Mobley, the author of the story.
“The study, conducted by Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement (IPA), only looked at schools directly affiliated with a Christ-centered denomination — schools that publicly affirmed faith in their mission statement,” Mobley wrote. “Nor were the schools’ infractions minor in nature. More than one-fourth of the offending schools were Christian schools that referred students to Planned Parenthood as a “health resource.”
Sadly, the problem is increasing. Since the 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade, Christian schools have augmented their support for abortion by 19.82%, according to IPA. Since 2024, that collaboration has increased by a full 38.63%.
BREAKING: We reviewed 725 Christian colleges and found that 1 in 7 has ties to the abortion industry.

“Clearly, the issue is not one that can be avoided by simply attending a school from a different denomination. For Christian pro-lifers seeking an education aligned with their values, the future seems grim,” Mobley wrote. “Still, not everything is lost.”
“But fortunately, the news isn’t all bad. According to IPA’s report, a full 50 ties between Christian schools and Planned Parenthood were severed during the 2024-2025 school year, thanks to interventions and awareness fostered by IPA. And after researchers reached out to offending schools in July 2025, four schools cut all ties to the abortion industry, and another four removed some.”
“This success points to the path forward. Higher education institutions depend on the support of students, parents, alumni, and donors. If these groups express undeniably—with their words and, if necessary, their pocketbooks—that they will not stand for compromise, Christian colleges will have no choice but to cut ties with the abortion industry or to stop falsely claiming the name of Christ.” Mobley wrote.
