Abstract

Taking a reproductive justice approach to understanding student needs, I explore student experiences of an on-campus crisis pregnancy centre (CPC), drawing on data from a small mixed methods study. Participants contacting the CPC sought testing, counselling, and referral to abortion; instead, they encountered religious, anti-choice messages, and were left distressed and with delayed access to health care. These findings underscore the imperative that campuses provide accessible sexual and reproductive health services while simultaneously limiting campus access to anti-choice organizations.
