Our work focuses primarily on reproductive health, rights, and justice and promotes policies that provide people with the ability to become a parent and parent with dignity, to determine whether or when to have children, to have healthy pregnancies, and to have safe and healthy families and relationships. Our products contribute to framing policy and political debates affecting women's health--especially ongoing threats to contraception and abortion--as well as educating policymakers and advocacy groups about important advancements made in women's health through various reforms, most significantly the Affordable Care Act. We work collaboratively with a host of outside groups as well as other teams at the Center that intersect with women?s health and rights, including especially our economic policy, faith and progressive policy, immigration, racial equality, and poverty teams.
