Voice for Choice secures SGA Senate approval
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article covers Voice for Choice’s approval as a student group and its plans and campus reactions.
- The News-Letter reported that Voice for Choice, described as a non-harassment, bipartisan pro-choice group, received SGA approval last week; the article says its foundation formed the previous year in response to Voice for Life.
- The paper reported that founders Vinitha Kumar and Tess Fields were expanding the group’s campus presence, with goals that Kumar described as promoting “sexual autonomy and healthy sexuality” and ending gender and identity discrimination.
- The article adds that Voice for Choice planned its first official meeting for December and proposed events including condom giveaways, screenings, guest speakers and information sessions on sexual assault resources and laws.
- The reporter writes that Hopkins Feminists and the College Democrats supported the group, while the College Republicans could not be reached for comment.
- According to the article, Voice for Life said it respected Voice for Choice’s right to express its views, and Fields said the group could support healthier debate on campus.
