Feminists for Life on site!

"In college, Sally Winn found herself in a situation she never expected. She was pregnant, and she realized the school she attended didn't have any resources for pregnant women: no housing, no financial aid and no medical care.

"Do you ever see pregnant women on campus?" she said. "No, because they either drop out or have an abortion."

Winn's situation shed light on the difficulties college women face if they're pregnant. Today, she is vice president of Feminists for Life, and her goal is to get university communities to work with women so they don't have to make such drastic choices.

On Monday, Winn came to UNH and spoke in the MUB about being both pro-life and a feminist.

The event was sponsored by UNH Students for Life, a pro-life organization that focuses on educating both the campus and community on the importance of human life. They believe abortion is wrong because it is a method of human termination and because of the emotional consequences women face."
