Current Threats to Reproductive Health and Rights: Our Latest Analyses
The U.S. Senate has taken up health care legislation—already passed by the U.S. House of Representatives—that would do immense harm, including by rolling back access to reproductive health coverage and care. The bill currently under discussion would:
- Impose devastating cuts on the Medicaid program, which insures almost 13 million low-income U.S. women of reproductive age
- Allow states to undo the current requirement that all health plans cover maternity-related care
- Attack Planned Parenthood, a key provider of contraceptive services and other preventive care
- Restrict many private insurance plans from covering abortion care
