Pregnant College Students Lack Options, Congress Told

 

Feminists for Life of America (FFL) briefed members of Congress on Tuesday on the lack of life-affirming choices available to pregnant college students.

The pro-life, pro-woman organization recently conducted a nationwide survey that revealed a lack of options and information, leaving some women to think their only option is abortion.

"College students are constantly told to challenge the status quo," said Serrin M. Foster, president of FFL. "Thirty-two years after the Roe v. Wade decision, abortion has become the status quo — one out of every five abortions is performed on a college woman.
 
"FFL serves as a catalyst for developing resources and progressive solutions for pregnant and parenting students by asking women what they really want — because women deserve better."
