After a detailed presentation, numerous public comments and five hours of debate Thursday evening, ASMSU has decided the abortion drug RU-486 should be more accessible to students.ASMSUs Student Assembly approved the bill that calls on the university to make RU-486, also known as mifepristone, attainable through Olin Health Center.With the measures approval, supporters now hope to discuss the matter more extensively with Olin and MSU officials.This is not an issue that can be corrected overnight, Womens Council representative Melanie Olmsted said.Meanwhile, ASMSU representative Mike Ehlers, who introduced the bill with Olmsted earlier this month, said he was pleased with the amount of deliberation the measure has already inspired.That was our intention, said Ehlers, a College of Social Science representative for the assembly.
