Sen. Maggie Hassan questioned a Trump administration official about a decision to force unaccompanied immigrant minors to seek permission from Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Scott Lloyd before they can have an abortion.
These centers, aimed at convincing "abortion-minded" women to continue their pregnancies, purchase videos from the "Earn While You Learn" program with federal funds intended to address maternal health and infant mortality.
“Reproductive rights are human rights, and omitting the issue signals the Trump Administration’s latest retreat from global leadership on human rights."
The GOP-backed, anti-choice omnibus law "was, in effect, trying to overrule the U.S. Supreme Court," said Kenneth Falk, legal director of the ACLU of Indiana.
Just call them the Young and the Invincible. In other news, a survey asks about sex while menstruating. And in Norway, teen traffic-circle sex is considered a problem—for drivers.
Democrat Hiral Tipirneni's opponent in next week's special election is a GOP state lawmaker who has sponsored a range of anti-choice measures, including defunding Planned Parenthood.
"As reproductive justice advocates, we recognize the insidious impact state-sponsored policies have on the dignity and rights of poor women of color who are often stripped of their ability to form the families they want."
“This victory is critically important for tens of thousands of Ohioans across our state that rely on Planned Parenthood for care and education each year."
