followed the lives of 1,000 women in the United States for 10 years: Some had recently had abortions when the study began; others had been denied them.

Representatives from the universities of Missouri, Mississippi, and Kentucky note that, because their states already had preexisting restrictions,would not affect services offered at their health centers.

An official from Washington University in St. Louis, a private college in Missouri, pointed to a June post onaffirming that the campus would continue to provide contraceptive counseling and IUDs. The post says that students will still have access to abortion services in neighboring Illinois, with “two clinics within a 30-minute drive.
Representatives from the University of Alabama, Auburn University, Louisiana State, Tulane University, the University of Wisconsin, Georgia State, the University of Arkansas, and the University of Tennessee did not respond to email requests for comment.
