Spring Udate

The semester is winding down and we are trying to find new volunteers for next fall. Please visit the Vox website to find out more about how you can volunteer. Stop in at our tabling at the Bernhard Center on Monday April 16th from 11am to 2pm. Our table will have lots of information and we’d love to talk to you.

In the news, a new bill is being presented that will force women seeking abortions to view an ultrasound before hand. Supporters of the bill claim that it is not an anti-abortion bill, not making abortion legal in anyway. They say that by viewing an ultrasound, the women may be swayed to keep their child. Challengers of the bill are arguing that the women who have decided to get an abortion have already made informed and thoughtful decisions, therefore seeing the ultrasound should not be required nor will it make a difference. Saying the bill is a violation of women’s rights, they argue that it is inhumane for a woman wanting to terminate a pregnancy caused by rape being first forced to view an ultrasound. Supporters of the bill are being asked to look at what their actual cause is and how it relates to women’s rights.
