Women Deserve Comprehensive Health Care

Now that the health care bills are headed to the House and Senate floors, we all must tell Congress to protect reproductive health. We can’t risk losing what we have gained.

Your members of Congress need to hear that women deserve comprehensive reproductive health care, no matter what stage of life or pregnancy. Tell them that health reform must make reproductive health care accessible and affordable for all.

Talking Points

- Reproductive health care is an essential component of basic health care, but women have trouble accessing it. When women don’t get the reproductive health care they need, the consequences can be dire: untreated STDs can lead to infertility, undetected cancers can kill, and unmanaged pregnancy can lead to infant and maternal deaths. - Reproductive health care impacts all aspects of a woman’s life.
Contraception, prenatal care, treatment for miscarriage, abortion, and labor and delivery are basic health services for women. They should be covered by any health insurance plan. - Health reform should expand and guarantee women’s access to reproductive care. To meet the health needs of women, Congress must reform the private insurance industry to eliminate discrimination against women, create a public insurance plan, expand access to the Medicaid safety net, and continue funding Title X clinics.
