Reproductive Rights and Responsibilities

The current landscape of reproductive rights in the U.S. is heavily influenced by recent legislative changes, particularly following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. This legal shift has resulted in varying access to abortion and pregnancy care across states, creating significant challenges for individuals seeking reproductive health services. The burden of contraception and pregnancy care has historically fallen on women, raising important questions about the role of men in sharing these responsibilities.
