Who to Contact

 

In order to stop abortion drugs from coming to campus, we are asking all pro-life advocates to contact key people at state universities. Below you can find a list of who to contact and key talking points to use.

 

• Student health centers are not equipped to determine the location, size, and development of a preborn child.

• The abortion pill, RU-486, cannot be used past ten weeks, meaning accurate assessment of pregnancy is necessary via ultrasound.

• Without ultrasounds, camps health centers are incapable of detecting whether a pregnancy is ectopic or intrauterine, meaning they could be held liable for improperly giving out abortion pills.

• RU-486 can cause extreme bleeding, and universities are not equipped to properly respond to these complications or to administer blood transfusions should a woman  hemorrhage.

• Colleges could face legal liability should a woman die after taking the RU-486 abortion pill … and the FDA reports that at least 22women have already died from RU-486 complications -- four of them in California.
