Abortion Loan Fund Letter
- Title:
- Abortion Loan Fund Letter
- Description:
- In 1971, the Associated Students of Duke University (ASDU) created the Abortion Loan Fund to finance Duke students' travel to states where abortions were legal. The fund was the second of its kind in the nation, and it was maintained even after abortion became legal in North Carolina in 1973. Although both ASDU and President Sanford faced backlash from some students and outsiders, the student body voted to keep the program, which continued until it was taken over by Student Health in the 1990s.
