Abstract

The article explores abortion at college and university campuses during the sexual liberation and reproductive control at southern colleges and universities before 1973. Topics discussed include the arrest and indictment of Ron Sachs, editor of the University of Florida's student newspaper, the "Florida Alligator" on October 6, 1971, for violating the state's 1868 law prohibiting abortion and the widespread familiarty of women on abortion despite the silence surrounding it.
