Doctors' lives depend on it. Your life may even depend on it. Join Milwaukee NOW and the Milwaukee Coalition for Choice in our local efforts to end clinic violence and harassment. We have drafted an anti-clinic violence resolution for the city of Milwaukee to urge the City to enforce its harassment and violence laws. Much of the gender gap in expenses is due to reproductive health-related supplies and services.
Contraception is basic health care for women.
Women do not have real choices over their reproductive lives unless they have access to affordable, reliable contraceptives. A primary barrier to that access is the lack of insurance coverage for prescription contraceptives. Although most health insurers cover prescription drugs, most deliberately exclude contraceptives. This disproportionately affects women who must then bear the brunt of the added costs associated with contraception. Over 3 million unintended pregnancies occur each year, over half of which end in abortion.
