Exhibit Draws Heated Response |
Justice for All set up an exhibit in the middle of campus with 18 foot high posters that compared aborted fetuses to genocide victims. To counter this demonstration UNC Choice USA worked in coalition with Feminist Students United, Planned Parenthood and IPAS to ensure that there was a strong pro-choice presence at this event. UNC Choice USA's primary goal was to make sure that students received accurate information to counteract the sensationalist images that they were confronted with and to highlight the inappropriate manner in which the information was conveyed. Both pro-life and pro-choice students expressed disgust about the event in the Daily Tar Heel.

A new bill for the "pill" |
Kim Harris
Mills Campanile
November 5, 2008
Many women seeking birth control have faced higher prices on their
contraceptive prescriptions since a provision in the Deficit Reduction
Act of 2005.
According
to Planned Parenthood's Affordable Birth Control Issue Brief, the Act
lifted government subsidies on birth control on college campuses,
causing "the pill" to cost significantly more than in previous years.
Although
Mills students are covered by either Basic Medical Care or the State
Health Insurance Assistance Program (also known as SHIP), Kim LaPean,
communications manager for University Health Services at UC Berkeley,
expressed concern about the effects of the Deficit Reduction Act on
insurance premiums.

Students can effect change on campus |
After a long struggle to find a home for the Institute for Women's Studies, administration made the wrong move by putting the department in a dilapidated building. The UGA administration has recently agreed to move the Women's Studies Department out of the Benson Building which according to students "was not adequate classroom space for our intellectual pursuits in women's studies." The Institute for Women's Studies will be moved to the basement of Gilbert Hall, a definite step in the right direction.
The Women's Studies Student Organization (WSSO) at the University of Georgia was instrumental in this victory. After the UGA administration wasn't listening to the faculty, WSSO decided student voices had to be raised about the horrible conditions in Benson. April Greene, WSSO's Co-chair, authored a petition and confronted UGA's President at an open forum. WSSO students held a rally that took place outside of Benson a couple of weeks ago. This time the administration listened, demonstrating that students can effect change on campus.

Protesters need to focus on real issues |
|
Kansas State Collegian
Editor,
I was sad to see the “Right to Life group protests abortion at Life
Chain event” article in the Oct. 27 Collegian that was all rhetoric and
containing no real information. Abortion is an issue that affects
millions of women every year – and standing on street corners telling
people they’re “killing babies” gets the country nowhere.
