To doctors at the MSU Clinical Center, multiple sclerosis research isn’t all about tests and trials - it’s about the patients.

While attempts have been made to encourage Olin Health Center to offer RU-486, officials say the clinic isn’t qualified to make the abortion drug available.Members of ASMSU, the university’s undergraduate student government, met with Olin Director Dr. Glynda Moorer in February, encouraging her to consider offering RU-486 at the health center.But despite requests, Moorer said there is nothing to consider when it comes to offering the drug.“It wasn’t something we really even talked about once we saw what the requirements were,” she said.In order to provide the drug, clinics must be able to provide surgical intervention in the case of an incomplete abortion, offer 24-hour service to patients who take the drug and diagnose an ectopic pregnancy - a pregnancy that develops outside of the uterus.Moorer said Olin is not able to offer any of these services, but the main reason for not offering the drug is the clinic’s inability to provide 24-hour care.“When you perform surgery on someone, for an abortion or otherwise, you need to have someone available at all times in case of emergencies,” she said.

If we subscribe to the ideas that John La Fleur suggests are correct in his column, we may find ourselves in a scarier, more unfortunate situation than what already exists by not allowing homosexual marriages. The way that marriage was described to me for as long as I can remember is that it is an institution for which people who love each other can live together with certain benefits and recognition - such as a joint tax situation or health benefits. Never was it described to me as “a legal union from which children are born.” The idea of marriage for the purpose of procreation is ridiculous.
