The GOP's war on abortion puts disabled people at even greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes

As Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley wrote in September, “For many people with disabilities, access to reproductive health care is significantly hindered by structural barriers such as discrimination, physical and financial barriers, and a lack of inclusion of people with disabilities in the healthcare workforce. People with disabilities are less likely to receive contraception counseling, timely prenatal care, and are at a greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.”

And the GOP's war on everything good, right, and decent has only made accessing reproductive health care harder. Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Patty Murray, as well as Missouri Rep. Cori Bush—a former nurse—and Pressley have reintroduced the Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act. The bill aims to dismantle barriers to reproductive health care for people with disabilities.
