Duquesne Catholic University President Stops Planned Parenthood Ads
What does an ad cost on Duquesne's radio station these days? 30 pieces of silver perhaps?
PITTSBURGH, October 15, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Dr. Charles J. Dougherty, president of Duquesne University, has directed campus-based radio station WDUQ to stop running advertisements for Planned Parenthood. He based his decision on the hostility to Catholic Church teachings by Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading advocate for abortion.
Planned Parenthood has launched a public relations effort to put pressure on the university to reverse the president's move. Cardinal Newman Society executive vice president Tom Mead said, "We applaud Dr. Dougherty's principled position. Planned Parenthood continues to probe Catholic colleges wherever it can, and thankfully in this instance Dr. Dougherty moved quickly to uphold Catholic teachings on life issues."
