The University of Idaho sent a warning to employees Friday that promoting abortion or contraception while on the job could be a felony — and stating the university will no longer make birth control available — multiple outlets report, citing state laws that prohibit public funds from being used on abortion and the advertisement of any contraceptive or abortion-related drugs.

The university’s Office of General Counsel sent guidance for employees on how to comply with state laws regulating abortion and contraception, noting the school is “committed to operating within the confines of laws.”

1. ' If They Promote Abortion Or Contraception'?

Sounds like University of Idaho is violating rights of employees.

3. How sad at my college in the 1970's they had a women's health center

That prescribed birth control, gave out condoms and referred women to available abortion options.

I feel so sorry for young women today in these red states.

5. Maybe they'll vote.

Not an easy fix but a lot of pissed off women can make a difference. Hard to see how they could stay complacent but… apathy is a strong current

4. Luckily it's not illegal to give directions

To Pullman Washington -a short 5 miles away. I understand they have a planned parenthood clinic and other medical facilities there along with Washington State University. Lots of good shopping there too.
