DePaul Students Run Covert Contraceptive Delivery Service

At Chicago’s Catholic DePaul University, students launched “womb service,” a clandestine delivery system for contraception and Plan B after the school banned their Planned Parenthood-affiliated group. Student leaders say the network fills a critical gap in reproductive health access, as Catholic colleges often restrict birth control in line with church doctrine. The effort is part of a wider trend of students at Catholic campuses organizing to provide condoms, pregnancy tests, and education, sometimes facing administrative pushback. Advocates argue the work is vital for students’ autonomy and health. Illinois law requires public universities to provide contraception, but private Catholic schools are exempt.
