Miami University in Ohio to Put Plan B Vending Machine on Campus | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Students at Miami University in Ohio may soon have access to the morning after pill through a vending machine. The proposal is both led and funded by the Associated Student Government at Miami University. Plan B is an over the counter drug labeled as a contraceptive medication. A school spokesperson says it is not the same as the abortion pill, Mifepristone. President of Students for Life at Miami University, Sam Dearie, joins to share what is prompting this at his college and what his take on it is. Students can already go to a nearby pharmacy for this medication. Dearie explains why they put it in a vending machine on campus. The argument out there is that Plan B is not technically an abortifacient but rather a form of emergency contraception. Dearie responds to that. The students behind this measure have already received $3,500 in funding to purchase the machine. The president of Students for Life at the university campus tells us whether he has any idea where the money is coming from. He tells us the reaction among students as is it generally considered a good thing to have a Plan B vending machine on campus. Dearie fills us in on any final thoughts.
