Barnard College, a private women’s college in New York City, will give students access to medication abortion — abortion pills — as soon as fall of next year, school officials announced Thursday.
The move, a direct response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, was made to ensure students’ access to abortion health services no matter what the future holds, Marina Catallozzi, Barnard’s chief health officer, and Leslie Grinage, the dean of the college, said in a statement announcing the move.
