Read the Plan: Reproductive Health Care and Justice for All

Excerpt:
Comprehensive Reproductive Care
Under Medicare for All, the Hyde Amendment will be repealed and all reproductive health services will be provided free at the point of service. Contraception will also be covered and free. In order to ensure everyone can receive the reproductive health care they need under Medicare for All, Bernie will significantly expand funding for Planned Parenthood, Title X, and other initiatives that protect womens health, access to contraception, and the availability of a safe and legal abortion.
Reproductive Justice in Communities of Color & the Black Maternal Mortality Crisis
If abortion is legal, but your state has no or too few reproductive health clinics, then you do not have reproductive justice or freedom. If there are reproductive health clinics but there are financial barriers to utilizing those clinics, then you do not have reproductive justice or freedom. If you have health care that is affordable, but work long hours at minimum wages and cannot afford to take time off work to get to your doctors appointments, then you dont have reproductive justice or freedom. If you must travel long distances to reach an abortion provider but are unable to afford transportation, lodging, or child care, you do not have reproductive freedom. If you have health insurance provided by your employer but your employer excludes reproductive health care from the insurance plan, then you do not have reproductive justice or freedom. If you give birth to a healthy child, but your children are subsequently poisoned by lead-tainted water, then you dont have reproductive justice or freedom. We must address these issues holistically to ensure true reproductive justice for all, especially in communities of color.
