Abortion Pill Availability Expected to Cause Few Changes in Counseling

Students may request a refund from UHS for the portion of their health services fee that goes towards funding abortions.

Representatives from campus peer counseling and women's advocacy group attended a forum Wednesday in the Quincy House JCR aimed at discussing pregnancy resources for students at Harvard.

The meeting focused on efforts to consolidate pregnancy resources in one place on campus, making them more accessible.

"Pregnancy resources are very decentralized," Karen E. Avery '87, assistant dean of the College said Wednesday evening.

For example, the Office of Work and Family, used mostly by Faculty and staff, offers parenting classes, day care and housing information to students.

"It would be great if we could have this information compiled for us. Students turn to us with these questions, and we should have the answers," Christine Zimmerman '01, co-chair of Room 13, said to the gathering.
