The Gist
The author argues that colleges shouldn't offer abortion pills to students because it's medically unsafe, morally wrong since it kills developing humans, and forces taxpayers to fund something many oppose. She believes universities are going too far by directly providing these services rather than just referring students elsewhere.
Conclusion
Universities should not provide abortion services to students on campus
