The Biden Administration’s First 100 Days and Their Impact on Women
by Nikki Wolfrey | Apr 29, 2021 | Reproductive Rights
In many ways, Biden has women — and especially women of color — to thank for his victory in the 2020 election. And by selecting the first woman and person of color to serve as Vice President and nominating a record number of women, including nine women of color, to his cabinet, the Biden Administration has signaled a willingness to prioritize women and the issues that impact us.

Why the EACH Act Matters for Medicaid Beneficiaries
by Caroline Le | Mar 26, 2021 | Reproductive Rights
We need to strengthen Medicaid. With a new administration and Congress moving on key legislative priorities, now is the time. Strengthening Medicaid means increasing access to abortion and reproductive care. Abortion access is often an afterthought among the health advocacy community, but without abortion access, Medicaid coverage cannot ensure the overall well-being of people that may become pregnant.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in nearly 50,000 cases and more than 60 deaths among pregnant people across the United States. And these numbers will surely increase as infections continue to surge over the winter months.

As the United States sees an increase in COVID-19 cases across the country, millions of people are set to lose the critical benefits that Congress enacted — including emergency paid sick days and paid family leave.

When Calling the Police Doesn’t Help: The Criminalization of Survivors and Pregnant People
by Shaina Goodman | Aug 24, 2020 | Maternal Health
