BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Students returning to college are confronting a new reality in states such as Texas, Ohio and Indiana: Abortion, an option for an unplanned pregnancy when they were last on campus, has since been banned, often with few exceptions.
Students said they’ve made changes both public and intimate since the U.S. Supreme Court decision this summer that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. Students said they’re using more birth control, and some have made a plan to leave the state for an abortion if they become pregnant. They’re also taking public stances, with increased activism by both opponents and supporters of abortion rights.
Conversations about the changing landscape of abortion access seem to have dwindled since early summer, said Brian Roseboro, a senior at Ohio State University who’s from Montclair, New Jersey. But the 21-year-old, who’s single, said the new law is making him more careful and conscious about using contraception this year.
“I’m definitely thinking about it way more,” Roseboro said.
Ohio University junior Jamie Miller said he participated in multiple protests this summer, including one where he gave a speech addressing how support for abortion rights overlaps with advocacy for bodily autonomy for transgender people like him.
More intimately, Miller, 20, said the new limits on abortion influenced the decision he made with his partner to avoid sexual activity that could risk pregnancy. After years of taking testosterone, going through with a pregnancy wouldn’t be healthy for him or for the child, he said, adding that it also would upend his education and put him into debt.
“It would be pretty catastrophic in every sense of my life,” Miller said.

Never have so many been so angry that children will live.
Oh, the huge manatees.
Are they there to learn, or something else?
Perhaps they should learn to keep their legs closed.
Not to worry, the curriculum is like getting a lobotomy so it won’t matter.
They should do a sit in by golly. Shut Dean Wormers office. Throw a toga party. Don’t just sit idly by. 🤔😲😵
How sad
Maybe they will have more time to learn academics and will elect not to put themselves at risk by indulging in dangerous behaviors.
The travesty of it all.
Actually it’s still legal in Indiana up to 12 weeks.
Don’t know what this article is going on about.
“Miller, 20, said the new limits on abortion influenced the decision he made with his partner to avoid sexual activity that could risk pregnancy.”
Just like the good old days.

Personal responsibility is such a terrible thing.
So a woman who fakes “being a man” has taken testosterone for years and is worried about becoming pregnant? Okay....
Do they still have access to studies? That’s what they’re supposedly there for.
But Birth Control is still available isn’t it??????????
Boo frickin’ hoo. You have to look before you lust. You might have to go to a different state to kill your baby.
“After years of taking testosterone, going through with a pregnancy wouldn’t be healthy for him or for the child, he said, adding that it also would upend his education and put him into debt.”
What’s almost as bad is that the whiner they interviewed actually thinks she’s a guy and is worried that if she somehow gets pregnant...and I can’t imagine how...it will interfere with the testosterone she’s been taking.
The world has gone mad.
Why does a 20 year old need to "take testosterone" for "years"?
