Not So Pro, Pro-Life At Georgetown Law

Two Georgetown University law professors have served as legal counsel to Planned Parenthood, according to the university’s web site.

Professor Peter J. Rubin, according to his web page, “served as counsel in the U.S. Supreme Court for, among others, Dr. Timothy Quill and two other doctors in Vacco v. Quill, a challenge to the constitutionality of New York's ban on physician assisted suicide, and Planned Parenthood in Rust v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court challenge to the abortion ‘gag rule’ imposed in the 1980s upon family planning clinics that received federal funding.”

Professor Julie E. Cohen, who has taught at Georgetown since 1999, was a “member of pro bono team that represented Bay Area Planned Parenthood affiliates in abortion clinic access litigation” from 1992 to 1995, according to her curriculum vitate.

One has only to imagine the grief in the heart of St. Ignatius were he to encounter the cesspool of sin that Georgetown has become...

When this problem gets solved, the Jesuit vocations problem will get solved.

Yes, Pete, you're right All over the SJ in the West there is the lament 'no vocations'. Yet few Jesuits stop to consider that few young men who want to give their lives to God in an Order that serves the Church would want to waste it surrounded by people who desire little more than belonging to a sect within the Church. The collective delusion entertained by the majority of Jesuits is beyond belief.
