Infamously left-wing Georgetown University’s callous refusal to accommodate a pregnant student should not shock anyone. The university’s discrimination serves as merely the millionth indictment of the narrative that leftists who are pro-abortion are also pro-woman and pro-motherhood.

Just last week, users on X (formerly Twitter) erupted in outrage over Catholic Georgetown Law’s refusal to accommodate Brittany Lovely, a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams. When Lovely asked to be able to take an exam early, or possibly remotely at the same time as the other students, Georgetown responded that she was required to take the exam just a few days postpartum with her newborn baby.

“Motherhood is not for the faint of heart,” the university told Lovely, adding insult to injury in explaining that it denied her request because “it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class.”

These dismissive phrases, dripping with condescension, revealed Georgetown faculty’s contempt for motherhood and women in general. Firstly, the university’s choice to use the anti-woman terminology of “non-birthers” reveals what most already know: that Georgetown subscribes to the far-left ideology plaguing most major corporations and institutions across America at the expense of the very women they feign to support.

Indeed, the very same progressives plaguing Lovely for prioritizing motherhood can be found in the highest echelons of nearly every institution. Just look at corporate America, where companies tout paid-abortion leave policies and encourage employees to pursue fertility options such as egg freezing, while offering few options for women who pursue motherhood.

A new report from the Ethics and Public Policy Center, for example, recently found that, according to the Federalist, “nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies offer paid out-of-state travel for abortions, and many encourage options like egg freezing and in vitro fertilization in order to financially optimize their female employees … [W]hile some pro-family policies have been adopted at top corporations, the balance weighs heavily in favor of delaying or destroying families.”

Tragically, there are countless other examples of the ways pro-choice leftists discriminate against mothers while claiming to be “pro-woman.” The Left’s attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and maternity homes are a damning example, as these organizations exist to provide single moms with tangible options such as housing, career opportunities, food, financial support, and much more so that they can keep their unborn babies, which most women want.

Yet when these organizations were firebombed and vandalized nationwide following the Dobbs leak and decision in 2022, “pro-woman” leftists such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) added fuel to the literal fire by suggesting that they be shuttered across the country.

Leftists’ refusal to address the staggeringly high rates of abortion coercion is yet another example of how little they truly care about supporting women and moms. Studies show that over 60% of post-abortive women report having felt pressure to abort, while 60% say they would have chosen life if they had more emotional support or financial security. Instead of supporting alternatives to abortion, however, leftists attack pro-life organizations and fight for the mail-order of dangerous abortion drugs that can easily fall into the hands of predators and abusers.

Unfortunately, Georgetown’s discrimination against Lovely serves as yet another example of how little leftists truly care about supporting women and mothers who don’t choose abortion. One wonders how the university would have responded if Lovely had asked for an exam exception because of an abortion.

The university did ultimately correct its error under pressure and allowed Lovely to have a one-time exemption. Lovely is now pressuring the administration to ensure that future pregnant students do not experience similar discrimination.

She’s right to assume that they will, just as those who work to support women are right to assume such aggressive anti-woman, anti-motherhood bigotry will continue without any meaningful action.

Instead of expressing naive shock on social media, it’s long past time for pro-lifers to expose pro-abortion leftists for the anti-woman crusaders that they are and to start championing the countless ways that pro-lifers truly support women. Exposing organizations such as Georgetown and demanding they better accommodate pregnant students is a good start.
