This isn't rocket science, if you are against the views/teachings and doctrine of an organization than don't participate in it. There are plenty of good options elsewhere, they don't need to bend to your howling and screeching.

There was a Catholic school in NJ that was on the initial target list for my daughter, but after reading the niche reviews regarding the overall feel of the student body, I removed it. It sounded like it would have been a little too religious for my non-religious child.

But some kids are forced to get the college health plan and it does not cover birth control.


I would say that if this is an important issue for your ability to get BC, and you are looking at a school that has this policy, then it is correct that you would want to choose a different school. Not every school is going to be able to provide everything a given student is looking for in a college, so you would want to plan accordingly.



So if you want to send your daughters to an environment where there is upmost respect for women's reproductive rights, choose wisely.

You should have seen it before Jeff deleted a bunch of comments. The thread is a disaster and should be locked.


So there were deleted posts? The current posts and bickering about BC etc. is pretty pathetic.


Women's rights are "pathetic"?


To some they are. And those some are posting about it in a thread about catholic colleges.

It's a shame that some can't provide a supportive environment or basic health care for women.

4) it never occurred to me to go to the school doctor for a birth control RX
5) oddly enough - I don't remember ever going to the doctor at BC for anything (I guess I was lucky to just have viruses)


Funny how facts deflate the arguments. Who would want their DD to have their primary health care and gyn checks by the university health office? If that's even possible.
My kid will walk across the street to the CVS for her minor minute clinic health issues, flu, shots, etc and go to the CVS pharmacy to pick up her birth control pills.


You must live in 1990.

Students who do not have health insurance through their parents MUST by the schools health insurance
