The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

According to the Guttmacher Institute study, low income, African Ameri- can, and women ages 18-24 have disproportionately higher rates of unin- tended pregnancy. This mimics the age range of college students enroll- ing by age 18 and getting their degree of completion around age 21 to 24 years old. A 2016 National College Health Association survey found that 55 percent of college women used a method of contraception with the majority of them stating to have used oral contraceptives (American College Health Association 2016). This same demographic of students struggle with accessing contraception on and off campus. Emergency contraceptives are not provided in many healthcare centers on college campuses, and a 2017 survey found that 40 percent of pharmacies did not stock over-the-counter emergency contra- ceptives on the shelf (American Society for Emergency Contraception 2018; Miller and Sawyer 2006). Due to these circumstances students are forced to go to term. In 2011, 76 percent of pregnancies among 18-19 year olds were unintended and 59 percent were unintended among 20-24 year olds (Institute for Women's Policy Research). A Beginning Postsecondary Student Survey data displayed that one-third of all student parents earn either a degree or certificate within six years of them enrolling at a four year institution (Institute for Women's Policy Research). Due to the hurdles that arise from parenthood students often have to extend their time in college in order to complete their academic journeys which is not a luxury many can afford based on financial factors. The provision of emergency contraception on city and state campuses is a form of reproductive care which can prevent students from having unin- tended pregnancies. This bill will ensure that every student has access to affordable emergency contraception on state and city of New York college campuses granting them a fair chance to achieve academically.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
