I guess this is along the same lines...
My boyfriend is a teacher at a Catholic high school and the other day the school held a mandatory abortion rally. They hired a group to come in and tell everyone about the sins of abortion. They tried to scare the students by giving them asinine statistics like 43% of women under 45 have had an abortion. It seemed a bit alarming to me that almost half of women under 45 have had an abortion, so we looked up the resource. That 43% includes "spontaneous" abortions, aka miscarriages.
Now I may not necessarily agree but I understand that Catholicism is completely pro-life. But I don't think that a school (even if it is a Catholic school) has the right to make these impressionable naive teenagers attend an abortion rally at which with were unknowingly lied to.

That's what she said.
