BY JACQUI ADAMSStaff Writer
Last week, the Oklahoma sen-ate outlawed birth control, themorning ater pill, in-vitro ertil-ization, abortion—even in cases o rape, incest or medical necessity—and miscarriage.
Do you think I’m trolling you?
I’m not. It’s called a Personhoodlaw, and it says that lie begins atthe moment o conception. So, nomorning-ater pill.
No abortion, not even i the e-tus and the mother will both die without one. And mothers whomiscarry could be orced to go to jail or murder.
Are you glad you don’t live in
Oklahoma? Not so ast. Person-hood laws are in motion right now in ourteen other states, includingCaliornia.
A ederal Personhood amend-ment has been drated, and i aRepublican becomes President thisyear, the whole country could besubject to Personhood craziness be-ore you graduate rom college.
And you won’t get a chance tovote on it: the latest strategy by Personhood politicians is to take itstraight to the House or Senate.
So i you eel like only usingcondoms rom now on, or beingimpregnated by a rapist becausethe morning-ater pill is illegal, ordying while doctors stand helpless-ly by, unable to give you the abor-
tion that would save your lie—goahead and don’t do anything aboutit.
But i that stu sounds totally terriying, it’s time to start writ-ing to your senators and educatingyour riends, because Personhoodis coming or you whether you likeit or not.
Oklahoma Personhood law to spread across statesStudents respond to state law which outlaws birth control, the morning after pill and abortion. A rumored federal Personhood bill has been drafted.

Mind the Gap aims
to raise awareness,thank donors
BY MEGAN SADLERStaff Writer
According to the Oce o Annual Giv-ing, Mind the Gap on March 7 is aboutknowing that the $38,410 paid in tuitionisn’t enough to cover the expense o being astudent at Lewis & Clark College. It also re-minds us that the Annual Fund—the poolo monetary donations rom alumni, parentsand riends o the College—is vital in mak-ing the LC experience come ull circle. Every penny that comprises the Annual Fund must
be spent during the current year, a act thatthe Oce o Annual Giving uses to remindstudents that the donors to the Annual Fundhave given to every single LC student.
Tis year, on Friday, March 7, the exis-tence o the Annual Fund will be celebrated with doughnuts and postcard writing sta-tioned outside J. R. Howard Hall and theBon rom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Te primary goals o the March 7 estiv-ities are to thank those who donate to the Annual Fund and raise awareness o how their contributions are tied to every aspect o lie on campus. Te network o donors thatcontribute to the Annual Fund consists o alumni, parents and other interested parties,typically members o the community. Te Annual Fund represents the current pool o
money donated by the over 4,000 donors who have contributed, anything rom fvedollars to multi-fgures. Te Oce o An-nual Giving stresses that donor participa-tion—the number o donors—is in many ways more important than the size o indi-vidual donations.
Tere is some question o precisely how much the Annual Fund covers. ara Riker o the Oce o Annual Giving stated that shehas heard fgures around 24-25 percent, and was most comortable with the estimate o about a quarter o the LC education. How-ever, Riker emphasizes that the importanceo the Annual Fund should not be under-estimated, as it impacts almost every aspecto student lie rom fnancial aid and study abroad programs to unding student groups
and putting books in the library. ARTS 9
