#reproductive — Public Fediverse posts

💜 *Health starts here.*

🙌🏼 September is *World Sexual and Reproductive Health Month*. A reminder that sexual and reproductive health affects all of us, at every stage of life.

*It includes things like:*

👶 choosing if and when to have children
❤️ healthy relationships and consent
💊 contraception and fertility care
🤰 pregnancy and childbirth
🦠 protection from sexually transmitted infections
🛡️ protection from violence

Most life-threatening sexual and reproductive health problems are *preventable*.

✅ That’s why accurate, science-based information matters. It helps people understand their options, make informed decisions and get the care they need.

👥 Investing in sexual and reproductive health also helps people stay in school, take part in work and build healthier families and communities.

This September, WHO is inviting everyone to learn more, hear real stories and explore the science behind better care.

🌍 Because good health begins with *knowledge, dignity, choice and access to care*.

9th Circuit Hears Oral Arguments on #Church's Standing to Challenge #HealthInsurance Mandate

In March 2025, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision held that the #AssemblyofGod Church which opposes #abortion and some forms of #contraception lacked standing to challenge Washington's #Reproductive Parity Act which requires #health #insurance carriers to provide coverage for #contraceptives and #abortions.

The justices will consider whether to revive a bid by First Choice Women's Resource Centers to block a records request made by Democratic #NJAG Matthew Platkin as part of a probe into whether it unlawfully deceived [#fraud] #donors & potential #clients into believing the facilities offered #abortions & other #reproductive #healthcare services.
