University Of San Francisco Moves To Protect Life

St. Mary’s Medical Center,
“In keeping with Catholic tradition and teachings, voluntary termination of pregnancy will not be performed at St. Mary's Hospital and referrals for abortion will not be given to a student by USF Student Health Clinic staff. In addition, contraceptives services, in all forms, will not be provided by the USF Student Health Clinic."

“The Cardinal Newman Society applauds the University of San Francisco for altering its policy,” said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society.
It is important to note, however, the imperative for USF to be consistent and now remove the abortion coverage currently available to employees.”

The University of San Francisco currently makes available a Blue Cross health insurance plan to employees which does not include abortion coverage. Another plan, offered to adjunct faculty by USF through Kaiser, includes coverage for abortion.
