The Connecticut university will also pay for students' contraception and Uber rides to abortion clinics, according to a socialist student group.

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut (LifeSiteNews) — Wesleyan University is giving in to a socialist group’s demands to subsidize abortion and abortifacient drugs for students beginning next fall, in a move that is raising questions about the power of left-wing activists, as well as double-standards regarding more life-affirming options.

“Starting in the fall semester 2023, DHC will provide all emergency contraceptives (Plan B and Ella) free of charge,” the university announced this week, WTNH report. Plan B and Ella can act as abortifacients.

“Consistent with the health center’s mission to provide education and support in the decision-making process, students will be able to access emergency contraceptives by consulting with a nurse at DHC [Davidson Health Center]. The University will rely on a student’s insurance plan to pay for abortion services but will offer financial assistance to any student whose insurance does not cover abortions and/or pay co-pays and deductibles after insurance has been filed. Wesleyan University has long provided financial support for those in need beyond what their medical insurance might cover,” the university continued.

The school added a declaration of solidarity with the abortion lobby, stating that, at a “time when reproductive freedom is being threatened around the country, Wesleyan is dedicated to providing students with support for free emergency contraception or for the decision to terminate a pregnancy.”

Will Wesleyan University also compensate any student who decides to keep slaves?

Because seeing a slave as not a human being is the same as seeing an unborn child as not a human being. Both are just property, right Wesleyan?

A radio host on a Connecticut talk station used call Wesleyan University LEFT WING UNIVERSITY. It was bad then (in the 1990s), so it must be crazy left.

My mom is an alum of Birmingham Southern. She said it was left wing...even back in the 50s.
