In line with church teachings that discourage premarital sex and birth control, many Catholic colleges restrict access to contraceptives on campus. At DePaul, the university said it banished the student group over its affiliation with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. Some state legislatures have sought to exclude emergency contraception and other birth control methods from state Medicaid programs or have introduced bills requiring parental consent for minors to access contraception. In 2020, the American Society for Emergency Contraception launched an effort to help student activists expand contraception access on college campuses. Roman said she hopes more students on Catholic campuses challenge their universities’ reproductive health policies.
