To give them the benefit of the doubt, it's possible they didn't know who was invited. As we all know, unfortunately these issues are not on many of the Catholic University radar screens. It used to be called invincible ignorance.

Scandal: Holy Cross College welcomes Planned Parenthood
On October 24, Holy Cross, a Jesuit Catholic college in Worchester, Massachusetts, is hosting the 2007 Teen Pregnancy Institute conference. Among those giving workshops are representatives from the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.
Three of the workshops will be given by Planned Parenthood: “Supporting Parents as Primary Sexuality Educators of their Children,” “Beyond Pregnancy Prevention: How to Talk to Teens about HIV and STI Protection,” and “How Do I Protect Thee – Let Me Count the Ways.” These workshops will include “practical guidelines and techniques for including the topic of HIV and STI prevention in conversations about protection methods.”

Other workshops include information on birth control, Depo-Provera and emergency contraception. One will be given by a representative of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts.
Please contact this college to tell them they are violating the teachings of the Catholic Church by allowing Planned Parenthood and these other organizations to speak at their college.

My name is Janice Still and i would like to show you my personal experience with Depo-Provera.
I am 24 years old. I have been on Depo for 9 years and did not realize that the symptoms I experienced might be related to the shot. I am now facing thousands of dollars in dental work due to bone density loss, and will probably end up with osteoporosis. I am getting off Depo and will never touch it again!
I have experienced some of these side effects-
Low libido, joint pain, bone density loss, dental problems, headaches, fatigue, out of control eating, gained 40 lbs., depression
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Janice Still
