Roe v. Wade will mark its 41st birthday later this month, amid ever-increasing assaults on reproductive rights across the nation. According to the latest report from the Guttmacher Institute, states have imposed a staggering 205 abortion restrictions between 2011 and 2013.
That legislation has attacked access to abortion from all angles — targeting providers and clinics, driving up the cost of abortion for the women who need it, making women travel farther and wait longer to get medical care, and outright banning the procedure. Since 2000, the number of states that Guttmacher defines as being “hostile” to abortion rights has spiked from 13 to 27.That’s left abortion rights advocates on the other side, working hard to stem the tide of anti-choice attacks. Constantly warding off restrictive legislation hasn’t left much space for proactive policies to expand women’s reproductive freedom,like expanding access to maternity care or making family planning services more accessible to low-income women. Most of the headlines about abortion issues are bleak.But there may be a shift on the horizon.As the new year kicks off, the pro-choice community is beginning to lay the groundwork for a new kind of strategy. On the state level, they’re beginning to push for legislation that not only rolls back anti-choice restrictions, but also expands health care opportunities for women and their families.They’re striking a delicate balance between finding common ground with social conservatives — like focusing on preventative care and maternal health outcomes —while maintaining that abortion is also an important aspect of reproductive health. And grassroots activists are committed to nudging the dial forward on issues that have long been considered too controversial for the political sphere.
i'm sure that all republicans don't hate their mothers and sisters, aunts, nieces and the friendly lady at the local establishments, so why do they support hate and denial of women, and most curious why do republican women support male knuckle dragging legislation against their own gender?
A new agenda for reproductive freedom
So what does that agenda look like? In a political atmosphere that’s long segregated women’s health care from the rest of policy as a “culture war issue,” it involves a more comprehensive approach to reproductive freedom.“Abortion access is ground zero of reproductive freedom; without it, we don’t have autonomy and self-determination over our lives. But it’s not as though our reproductive lives start and end there,” Hogue noted. “There’s a whole landscape out there of policies that have lagged far behind.”Those policies include other health-related initiatives, like ensuring that women have access to family planning services and maternity care. They involve tackling sexual health issues, like cracking down on domestic abuse and rape.But they also include economic policies to help ensure that women have the resources to direct the courses of their lives and provide for their families — like equal pay legislation, affordable child care services, and efforts to prevent workplace discrimination.Rather than framing reproductive rights as a women’s issue, groups like NARAL are working on making the point that they’re also inextricable from the nation’s economic agenda.
now that you see this list you know who have been pretty much the sole antagonist that promote such egregious restrictions to women in case not the republicans. are they acting out on latent "mommy issues" it's not religion what they do in regard to denial is Godless, it's money the root of all their evils, they don't want to get stuck with the bills of female wellness, that is why ins. co's charged more to cover women.
these are the kinds of things ACA ObamaCares remedies that is why they fight against it, if it were just money alone this relieves a lot of that burden on business, so that was their lone argument against ACA handles that only thing left is the ins. co.'s can no longer gouge and cherry pick what your money gets you. Men these are our women mom's, wives, daughters, aunts, cousins, friends recognize
