Jesuit schools for non Catholics? Thoughts?

It [the availability of birth control pills] is at least something to think about for women planning to attend Catholic colleges.

I repeat what I wrote upthread: They’re also not available on-campus at the public institution I work at. Further, my institution doesn’t offer in-house health insurance to students (as opposed to faculty/staff, which, of course, it does)—that has to be arranged by the students or their families themselves, so you can’t indirectly get birth control pills from the public institution I work at through their insurance plan, either.

Seriously, this is not a Catholic college issue. Please stop trying to make it look like one.

Should birth control be provided to students who want it? I recognize there is a diversity of opinion out there, but I’d say yes. Is it? Not everywhere, certainly—but it’s not like it’s provided everywhere except at Catholic (or even religious generally) colleges.
