Policy Switch

(Fox News) - A change of policy at Georgetown University Law School will permit the nation's oldest Catholic university to give grants to students who work for organizations that promote abortion.

LifeSiteNews.com says the policy change resulted from criticism the law school received for refusing to fund a student who wanted to intern at Planned Parenthood. The school's student newspaper reports Georgetown will no longer consider the mission of organizations in determining such grants.

The head of the school's pro-life group says the policy change means Georgetown will now be funding abortion advocacy and called it a dishonest and legalistic compromise.
