Catholic University apologized for erroneously providing health care coverage for abortions in the case of rape or incest, or in the event the mother's life was endangered.

They promise to change that.

Where do jesuits fall on this?

Or the usage of birth control?[/quote]

Birth control is not available at most Jesuit university student health services.  So yes, if your kid attends, you need to expect to go off campus for that.  Beyond that and there being a cross on the wall in dorms/buildings, you don't really see that much Religious aspects at the school[/quote]

As a Jesuit once observed to me:  “no, we don’t provide birth control; we don’t provide Buicks either.”[/quote]

So essentially, a Jesuit compared healthcare to a brand of automobile.[/quote]

Most Jesuit universities are in areas with a Planned Parenthood within 3-4 blocks---why?  because most Jesuit universities are in some of the "needier" areas of the city, that's the whole premise is to be in the areas that need their service the most.  So there are plenty of options available for kids to get birth control, as well as regular healthcare.  Most are in medium to large cities, so there are easy options with regular medical facilities within 1 mile.  Don't know about you, but I rarely used student health services on my campus and neither have either of my kids, as it's damn near impossible to get an appt when you need it.  So plenty of options for kids, from PP (if you don't have good insurance) to regular medical centers that take your insurance.

Ok.  But they don't give out birth control because it is sinful.  That is not the reason they are not giving out buicks.  Not a sin to drive a Buick as far as I know.[/quote]
