Jessica Rosales recalls plunging into a downward spiral after discovering that her birth control had failed and she was pregnant. A financially unstable third-year student at UC Riverside, she immediately sought an abortion something the campus student health clinic did not provide.
Instead she was referred to private medical facilities off campus. One wouldnt accept her insurance; the other didnt provide abortions. Her grades slipped, she said, and she frequently slept the days away to escape her circumstances. Eventually she traveled six miles to a Planned Parenthood clinic that performed the procedure. Ten weeks had passed.
My situation could have been avoided if the student health center was there and provided medication abortion for students on campus, Rosales said.
A bill advancing in the Legislature would make California the first in the nation to require that abortion pills be available at on-campus health centers. The legislation, which has passed the Senate and is advancing in the Assembly, would mandate that all California State University and University of California campuses make the prescription abortion drug RU 486 available at their on-campus student health centers by Jan. 1, 2022.

This does not apply to Catholic colleges. At least according to the article, the proposed legislation covers “all California State University and University of California campuses.”
The oral contraceptive (both the combined contraceptive pill and the protestogen-only pill) have a typical use effectiveness rate of around 91%. .Around 9 in 100 women using the combined pill will get pregnant in a year.
So say you've got 10,000 undergraduate women at your university, and say further than all are sexually active and all are on the Pill. Expect 900+ surprise pregnancies per year from this group.
The various jellies, jams, foams, sprays and barriers are much less effective. and yield a much higher pregnancy rate. Except for the condom, not one of them protects against STI's, and some even enhance risk for viral, retroviral or bacterial STI's.
The LARCs (Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives) --- injection, implant, patch, ring, IUD --- while about 99% effective for preventing pregnancy, are ALL associated with elevated STI rates as well as stroke, thrombosis, depression and (ironically) decreased libido..
Enjoy.
Conception occurring is a success rate.
