•     "In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and triggered a series of state-sanctioned abortion bans, which have created a complicated web of legal challenges for health providers and the patients seeking comprehensive reproductive care. Now, the House Republicans want to further limit students’ access to information about available resources, including all accommodations and protections available to pregnant or parenting students on college campuses. This is incomplete information and not the complete information the Chairman just suggested. Instead of sharing unbiased and comprehensive information, this bill requires colleges and universities to distribute only partial information about students’ existing rights under Title IX, as well as selective information on resources that solely encourage students to carry a pregnancy to term. Furthermore, it provides no information for students who want to bring a pregnancy to term, but for medical complications, an abortion may be medically indicated." Source: Rep. Robert Scott (Democrat, Virginia, District 3), Ranking Member on the House Education and Workforce Committee

•     "The proposed bill would do little to mitigate these harms and instead risks further stigmatizing pregnant and parenting students. The proposed bill relies on anti-abortion language and seeks to limit students’ reproductive healthcare decisions. This language is part of a political ploy that the anti-abortion movement hopes to use to further its case for a national abortion ban now that the Supreme Court has overturned the federal constitutional right to abortion care as established in Roe v. Wade. Furthermore, the bill language undermines existing legal protections under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) for pregnant students experiencing a range of outcomes related to their pregnancies."
