The student ‘womb service’ delivering contraception at a Catholic college: Here’s why it’s breaking new ground
At DePaul University, a Catholic institution in Chicago, students have launched a covert contraception delivery service known as the “womb service” after the university revoked their official status due to ties with Planned Parenthood. Operating under a new name, the group discreetly provides condoms and emergency contraception off campus. Similar student-led efforts are active at other Catholic universities as access to birth control remains restricted. Broader US political moves are also targeting contraceptive access nationwide.
