And now, through University Health Services (UHS), Harvard students can opt to have an RU-486 abortion at several Boston-area clinics.
"We support anything that UHS does to make the aftermath of sexual assault easier for survivors. This includes easier or more available abortions," says Jennifer K. Price '02, co-chair of the Coalition Against Sexual Violence.
UHS officials have said they will not offer RU-486 at their Holyoke Center clinic because they do not offer abortion services, and do not plan to in the future.
"It is very appropriate that all referrals are to places other than UHS, places that can offer the best medical safety for students," she says.
UHS announced yesterday that it would make RU-486, the controversial abortion pill approved by the Federal Drug Administration in September 2000, available to students through referral services.
