GET ME REWRITE: GOP continues its assault on reproductive health

 

Headline:  Washington Post, 9/26/2022

Because the language of the law is “unclear and untested,” the message reads, “we are advising a conservative approach here, that the university not provide standard birth control itself.” 

Condoms could be provided “for the purpose of helping prevent the spread of STDs,” according to the guidance — but not “for purposes of birth control.” 

Almost all of the universities providing clinical sexual health services in a 2020 American College Health Association survey offered contraceptives, with nearly three quarters of those responding providing emergency contraception options as well.
