BERKELEY, California, March 30, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — The Berkeley campus of the University of California should have a full-time abortionist on staff to serve abortions to students more conveniently, according to the Berkeley student Senate.
A student senate bill passed earlier this month addresses the “unmet need of medication abortion” for students, states that abortions are “necessary and relevant in student life,” and the bill's sponsor says university staff should take pay cuts to pay for the on-campus slaughter.
Arguing that not having an abortionist on campus is a violation of women's rights, the bill states, “students who are seeking an abortion face financial, time, and travel constraint burdens that create negative impacts on academic performance and mental health.”
The students say that abortion is necessary “in order for students to be able to upkeep their academic well-being.”
“Abortion is a common health-care service and access to abortion is necessary and relevant in student life.”
“The university should be providing this right to all students,” the student senate believes.
The bill notes the number of women on campus, and cites the Planned Parenthood-founded Guttmacher Institute's figures that one in four women get an abortion by age 30. The bill then concludes that a significant number of Berkeley students need the services of a full-time campus abortionist.
UC Berkeley is a public, tax-funded school.
“This resolution is demanding that the university reconsider and reprioritize it’s funding. Instead of investing money into the administration's paychecks, the university should be investing in students' health and safety needs,” Aanchal Chugh, the bill's sponsor, told Campus Reform.
Chugh says students should not pay for their abortions. “The resolution does not expect students to pay for these services as I, and those who voted for it, believe that health is a right not a privilege,” she added. “The university should be providing this right to all students.”
