ISSUE BRIEF | Four lawsuits from anti-abortion extremists challenging the 2024 HIPAA Privacy Rule are jeopardizing health privacy and threatening to put pregnant people at even greater risk of criminalization for their reproductive care.
REPORT | Overall, women in the United States are paid 75 cents for every dollar paid to men, and that gap is widest for women of color. This persistent, pervasive wage gap is driven in part by gender and racial discrimination, workplace harassment, job segregation and a lack of workplace policies that support family caregiving, which is still most often performed by women.

FACT SHEET | New research shows the numbers of federal workers in each state, as well as by race, gender, disability, and veteran status, underscoring the harm to local economies and every community across the nation as these public servants are put out of work.

FACT SHEET | Federal employees provide essential services to people – and when they are under threat, so too is that important work. It would also impact the economy overall. Costing hundreds of thousands of workers – or more – their jobs could dramatically spike unemployment, likely reducing GDP.

FACT SHEET | Currently, 24 million women are enrolled in Medicaid: 56% are in their reproductive years and over half are women of color. Beyond maternity care, Medicaid ensures access to preventive services like cancer and chronic disease screenings, family planning, and long-term care for aging women and women with disabilities, making it a vital program for supporting women’s health across their lifespan.
REPORT | We still find that states that have banned or are likely to ban abortion also overwhelmingly fail women on a range of key work and care policies. Yet, we also find that many states have taken key steps to advance women’s health and economic freedom, and point to opportunities to do more.
