It is yet another step in a broader war on reproductive rights and reproductive freedoms, this time by threatening funding loss for colleges and universities that do not comply. This bill would require colleges and universities to distribute information to all students about carrying a pregnancy to term and caring for a child after birth. But it intentionally excludes information about the full range of reproductive health care options, including contraception and abortion, even where those options are legal. That is not protecting pregnant students rights. That is government mandated bias. Pregnant students who are legal adults do not need politicians decide which facts they are allowed to know.
