Deep dives

The Attack on Reproductive Rights

Conservative efforts to restrict reproductive rights are interconnected. The right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution has been eroded for people capable of becoming pregnant, and now trans individuals are facing potential barriers to healthcare. The attacks on birth control have been ongoing, with conservatives framing emergency contraception as equivalent to abortion. These efforts have culminated in the anda versus bessara case, where parents' consent for teenagers' access to contraception through Title 10 funded health centers is being challenged.
