Students get Health Center Space |

After a nearly two-year struggle to gain a health center on the Mills
College campus, the students of Choice USA have finally achieved their
goal of procuring a location, but whether the location is permanent is
in question.
The Women's Health Resource Center was granted funding and will be located in Cowell this semester.
"I
think I speak for the whole college administration and certainly for
myself in saying how important this student initiated health resource
center is," President Janet Holmgren said. She said she has been "very
clear that we should provide funding for the center - and space."

Anti-abortion groups parade graphic images in |
|
Lawrence Journal World
Tammy Cook wants students to know what effect abortion has on society.
And Cook, director of field operations for the Wichita-based anti-abortion group Justice for All, has visual aids.
“We brought an outdoor exhibit to help people more fully understand
what abortion is,” she said. “Most people in this country are having a
disconnect about what abortion is and what it really means.”
Students milled around large panels Wednesday on the front lawn of
Strong Hall at Kansas University. On the front were large, graphic
photos of aborted fetuses at different stages of development.
Justice for All, KU Students for Life, the Benedictine College
Ministry Office, Benedictine’s Ravens Respect Life and several national
anti-abortion groups presented what they called a “free speech zone” in
front of the panels.

Funds Given to Pro-Life Group |

University Daily Tarheel
Issue date: 9/3/08
Carolina Students for Life will bring more than a dozen 18-foot-tall
images of aborted fetuses to campus after receiving about 10 percent of
Student Congress' semester budget Tuesday.
The
controversial images will be displayed in Polk Place in front of Wilson
Library, Dey Hall and Bingham Hall on Oct. 22 and 23.
Volunteers from Justice for All, a pro-life group based in Wichita, Kan., will set up the images.
The volunteers will also set up a detour for those who don't want to see the pictures.
Melanie
Simpson, president of Carolina Students for Life, said the purpose of
the display is to spark conversation between pro-life and pro-choice
advocates.
"We want to open up the dialogue because it is a skirted-around issue," she said.
Carolina
Students for Life brought a similar display to campus in March 2007.
Ashley Tyndall, one of the group's outreach directors, said reactions
from students varied.

Women on campus face rising contraception costs |
College students have many decisions to make regarding how to spend
often-limited funds. Though groceries and textbooks sometimes take a
back seat to gasoline and alcohol, for the most part students begin
learning a valuable lesson on budgeting and saving.
Sometimes choices are made for us—they are dictated by price
and need. When a high price conflicts with a high need, the decision is
harder to make; and when the decision concerns something that thousands
of women on this campus rely on for protection, the decision can be
impossible to make.
