It shouldn't even be an issue for students without a car. If they are smart enough to get into college, they should be able to figure out how to use the Uber app. I guarantee you they have used the Uber app for many other things.

There is even a lovely bike/walking trail (Bill Chipman Palouse trail) that they can take for the majority of trip if they prefer to bike or walk.

Do you know many college kids? They are so busy they will uber eats when they have a dining hall three buildings away.

But that's besides the point. The barriers shouldn't be placed by a public university. The end.

Yes I do know many college kids--including 3 of my own. They are not particularly motivated or industrious, but wouldn't bat an eye at biking, walking, or rollerblading a distance less than 10 miles.

And "not providing on campus" is not the same thing as "placing a barrier." One of my kid's school only sells Pepsi products on campus, not Coke. If he wants Coke products he walks ten minutes off campus to a convenience store. It's never occurred to me to think that the school is "placing a barrier" between my son and his favorite soft drink.

Oh. You actually are dumb. How sad.

No birth control pills or referrals under new Idaho abortion law. That includes emergency contraception and regular contraception. Staff could be charged with a felony for helping your daughter, even after a rape.

Can you explain to me WHY a school in Idaho should be doing this in the first place? When I went to college I made sure I had taken care of that before I left. When my daughter went, I did the same. Who depends upon the school dispensary to do an adequate job? And why should Idaho tax dollars pay for that anyways?

DP. So, if your DD needed to change BC pills, for whatever reason, you expect her to fly from ID to DC area to see her doctor? And if she was raped? You want her to fly home to DC area to get Plan B pills?

There is a Rite Aid pharmacy AND a Target with a CVS pharmacy literally right across the street from University of Idaho. No need to fly to DC.

And they won't fill the order with a rx from the doctor, who will want to see you. Are doctors prescribing BC or plan B drugs without seeing the woman?

You don't need a prescription for plan B. You also don't need a prescription for bc methods like condoms. Yes, you need a prescription for the pill. Like I said, PP is only 8 miles away.

if they are providing health care, sexual health care is health care.

It's entertainment. Colleges already provide multiple forms of entertainment; pool halls and bowling alleys in the student union, intramural sports, concerts, etc. Students can find plenty to do without resorting to recreational sex.

who are these women having sex with? Why don't you teach men to not have sex. Keep their peckers in the pants. Go play sports, see a concert. Why do you *need* sex? Sex should only be for procreation anyways, right?

Wow, you are projecting! I never said anything about "women" or "men." I said STUDENTS--so that includes both. This only shows that you already have made up Gilead fantasies in your mind and don't even listen to what people really say.

People are saying that women are the only people who can get pregnant, and therefore, BC is 100% on them, and if they get pregnant, too bad, so sad. You're on the hook. You should be forced to birth that baby that you alone are responsible for. Why should taxpayers help you? That baby deserves a life, nevermind the father doesn't give a rat's a$$ about you.

Who are these people? I have never heard or seen anyone say this. I'd love to see your examples of people who have literally said this.

You sound like you think no one is racist as long as they don’t use the N word.

Sorry you’re not very bright.

Couldn't find any quotes of people who actually said that, huh?

And that is understandable in light of their religious affiliation and their church's stance on birth control. This is PUBLIC universities.

Exactly. I used to audit medical facilities for a health insurance company, I’m a nurse, and once I did an audit of liberty university which obviously doesn’t deal with birth control at all but at least if you go to liberty University you know what you’re signing up for

Do colleges and universities not have a vested interest in making sure their undergrad students don't become parents or get STDS during their time on campus?

So you have never had sex for any purpose other than procreation? Hmm.

When I've had sex I've been open to procreation. Hmm

Sounds like you don't have much sex. Hmm.

For all the crazies who keep posting that Planned Parenthood is within Uber distance to these schools, you’re being dishonest. I imagine that with the new abortion outlaws, PP in these states are folding or will eventually fold

Well if you think that,it must be true.

I just did a search. Even in ultra-liberal Montgomery County, there's a single Planned Parenthood location (Gaithersburg) for a county of 1 million people.

I'd be surprised if PP has offices anywhere near a small college town.

You want to know how to get minimize abortions? Minimize unwanted pregnancies!
Seems so simple...

Same here! As a Christian, I can see how some would be opposed to abortion (though, I think that opposition should be based on fetal development, not religious interpretations). But, I think the way to be pro life is not to try to regulate someone else's body but to support women and families. And, I think the best way to start w/ this is providing birth control. That seems like a no brainer pro life should agree on w/ pro choice! And, then if we were going to claim pro life, we'd need investment in paid family leave, healthcare, WIC, SNAP, childcare, etc. But, these people are not pro life. They are into control of women. And maybe some weird breeding program.

Did that person really compare health care access to choice of soda? Zoiks!
