Duquesne Catholic University President Stops Planned Parenthood Ads

- A "Thumbs-Up" account from yesterday:

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.
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."

This is in stark contrast to the action of Jesuit Michael McFarland, President of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass, who is allowing a conference which includes Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts to be held on campus.
