Dr Willie Parker, who practices at Mississippi’s sole abortion clinic, will speak at Mississippi State University (MSU) on Thursday to explain to students – using Scripture – why he’s “morally convinced” performing the procedures is morally acceptable.
“I believe that, as an abortion provider, I am doing God’s work,” Parker wrote in his new memoir, ‘Life’s Work’.
“I am protecting women’s rights, their human right to decide their futures for themselves, and to live their lives as they see fit.”
Hannah Loper, an MSU senior and former president of MSU Students for Life, told LifeSiteNews the university should give the pro-life side equal time, if it is going to use tax dollars to host an event on abortion.
Responding to the backlash the event received from pro-life groups, MSU has added a pro-life speaker to the schedule as well, according to the AP.
The event is being sponsored by MSU Students for Life and Catholic Campus Ministry.
Several pro-life groups, including the American Family Association and Pro-Life Mississippi, have planned a rally to protest at Parker’s appearance.
