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?

^sorry, that should read, "without a rx from the doctor".

I donate annually to FIRE. They seem to be on top of attacking one part of the problem -- the restrictions on even talking about the topic.

Have you ever been up close and personal with the Taliban? If so you would never say this. Bring the over-emotional hyperbole down a notch.

Have you ever been raped?

I would think even/especially someone who has been raped would still draw a strong distinction between a government who supports stoning you to death for having been the victim of rape versus one that supports denying you abortion options.

Forced birth for rape victims is pretty abysmal in the modern world.

And you can say that without drawing ridiculous false comparisons that just discredit your position

And why should Idaho tax dollars pay for that anyways?

Indeed, why should tax payers of any variety pay for other people's sex? Except of course you are aware that Medicare pays for viagra and other penile aids for the impotent, right?

If you actually want to send your kid to school in a low opportunity conservative state:

- There are online mail in prescription services (pill club is a popular one)
- DC, MD, and VA require extended birth control insurance coverage

They have a list of states they don’t ship to, and that list will be increasing as more purposely onerous anti-contraception-access bills pass in ignorant states since Roe fell.

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

Because it’s not about minimizing unwanted pregnancies. It’s about the Right punishing women they don’t like and they don’t think should be having sex.

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.

I hope this is sarcasm, because if not, you’re profoundly dumb.

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?

*thunderous applause* More concerts and sporting events for men. Problem solved.

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.

Now do the millions of 18-year-old college freshmen who don’t have a parent willing to “make sure they had that taken care of before they left.”

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.

HAHAHAHA. And apparently you don’t understand a concept called “round trip.”
