The Truth About Emergency Contraception Goes to College
Monday, March 10, 2008

The Truth About Emergency Contraception Goes to College
College students across Wisconsin, opening their student newspapers before spring break, are seeing a reminder from Pro-Life Wisconsin, advising them to make smart choices over the week-long holiday.
“These ads are an integral part of what Pro-Life Wisconsin’s True to Life media campaign is all about,” said Peggy Hamill, State Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “I see promotions for emergency contraception everywhere, but no one is talking about what it actually does to the woman and to the baby.”
The ads raise awareness about what emergency contraception (EC) is, how it works and the health risks it poses.
“I am so thrilled to have these ads in college newspapers throughout Wisconsin, reaching more than 80,000 students, faculty and staff,” said Virginia Zignego, Communications Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin.
Emergency contraception is a powerful, high dose of steroids that tricks a woman’s body into thinking it is pregnant. These steroids can cause chemical abortions and deadly blood clots.
The ads encourage students to “Make smart choices the night before… that way you won’t have any emergencies to deal with the morning after!”
Unfortunately, in the past, Wisconsin college campuses have promoted EC to students, urging them to “prepare” for spring break by stocking up on it.
