After retiring from his pathology practice, Dr. Gregory DeAngelo accepted a position on the staff at Seton Catholic.Like Phillips, DeAngelo is a graduate of the Binghamton Catholic school.He now teaches health, biology and chemistry.While many educators elect to look at abortion from a spiritual position, DeAngelo introduces students to the cold, hard facts of abortion in his health classes and his biology classes.
DeAngelo stresses the biological underpinning of the assertion that life begins at conception.He also discusses the complications that can emerge from an abortion such as breast cancer and post-abortion syndrome.He introduces the topic in his health class by showing some of the legal issues generated by the Roe vs.Wade case.DeAngelo refrains from describing himself as an activist, at least in the conventional sense of one who takes to the streets to demonstrate.He prefers to use his vocation to press the case for church teachings."Where I think I can do the best for the cause is in the classroom," he said.He will, on occasion, make an appearance at public events such as Life Change Sunday, for instance.
