Abortion Update At U.S.F.

The University of San Francisco, a Jesuit university that came under fire for including abortion coverage in its student health care plan, now says it is working to remove coverage for staff and employees, too.
The Catholic college says the initial abortion coverage for students was a mistake. After strong protests from the pro-life Catholic community led University of San Francisco (USF) officials to issue an explanation about the new student health plan it adopted.
Gary McDonald, the director of Communications and Public Affairs, released a statement to LifeNews.com saying, "It was not the University's intention to offer this coverage." McDonald also promised that, "USF supports the Catholic Church's views on the sanctity of life, at all stages, and we will remove this provision from our student health plan." Now, USF officials are going further after complaints that its health care plan for employees already covered abortions.
