Fifteen Democratic legislators in the Kentucky State House joined Republicans in approving a ban on an abortion procedure known as dilation and evacuation.
Short-term plans are riddled with limitations and exclusions, many of which are prime examples of the kind of egregious gender discrimination that was rampant in the individual health insurance market before the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Tamya Cox of Planned Parenthood Great Plains said it was “disappointing” that state lawmakers would consider directing state or federal funds to organizations that don't provide reproductive health care.
If personhood proponents have their way, they'll restrict the ways people with infertility can build the families they want and push us to illogical extremes.
The GOP bill would allow physicians and those who undergo the common medical procedure to be charged with murder, which is punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty.
The Nebraska GOP plan to deny Title X funds to health centers that perform, counsel about, or refer for abortion services would harm family planning health centers in the state, potentially setting them up to violate federal law.
Congress maintained funding for a key family planning program. But President Trump’s abstinence-only Title X chief, Valerie Huber, will decide what to do with the funds.
From California to Vermont, state lawmakers have introduced a flurry of bills and amendments to cement the protections ensured by the landmark Roe decision.
