[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there's any chance your daughter will need to use the University health insurance, e.g., if she stays for med school or a master's program, be aware that it's  backasswards Catholic insurance when it comes to women's reproductive health.  I was married and in law school and couldn't get birth control or an IUD through my insurance unless it was for a health purpose other than preventing pregnancy. I'd probably have my daughter choose UVA on that basis, as well as to avoid her being trained in a Catholic hospital where they don't treat women as having reproductive rights.[/quote]
I'd be shocked if this was GU or within the last 20 years. (Indiana/ND - I might believe)[/quote]
I checked the GU website before posting and this is still their policy.  Women do not have the right to make decisions about their own health or body if on Georgetown insurance or if treated at Georgetown hospitals.  [/quote]

There is plenty of healthcare within close distance to Georgetown. Most kids are on their parents' insurance and if an undergrad female needed insurance, they could forgo GU as their source and obtain a cheap policy through the Marketplace. I didn't get reproductive care through my university when I was in college?[/quote]
Perhaps you should have read my post before responding?  I addressed most of this.

When I was in college lots of girls ended up getting birth control from the student health center, especially if they were from elsewhere and didn't have a local doctor.  It was also the first stop for a suspected pregnancy.  [/quote]

And at my college they went to planned parenthood....so...[/quote]

Also at my graduate school in a different city.... [/quote]
Perhaps you're okay supporting an institution that treats women as unable to make their own decisions about their bodies, but I'm not.  [/quote]

But OP and her daughter ARE willing to consider it...so to each their own. Sounds to me like her daughter is empowered enough to seek the care she'll need - just like I was and as are most students at Georgetown.[/quote]
