Essential Access Health

Thank you to our presenters, participants, sponsors, and exhibitors for making Sexual Health Update #SHU2024 a success! Together we centered reproductive equity, quality, and access, shared best practices, and had robust and important conversations about how we can and must (re)shape the future and narrative around sexual and reproductive health care. Essential Access Health’s Learning Exchange offers capacity training, technical assistance, and other capacity building resources to health care providers year-round.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously blocked the challenge to revoke the FDA’s approval of mifepristone and asserted that the anti-abortion plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. This case was outrageous and baseless from the start. Mifepristone has a proven track record of being safe and effective for over twenty years and medication abortion accounted for nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year. This isn’t the end. Policymakers on the state and federal levels need to push for protective policies and ensure that everyone can get the essential and time-sensitive health care they need, when they need it, without barriers. https://lnkd.in/daD546wj

Thank you to the California Primary Care Association and WCN Board for the unique opportunity to kick-off #RegionIX2024 with a discussion about the importance of protecting and expanding access to abortion care throughout #RegionIX. It was an honor to partner with the always brilliant Deborah Rotenberg to uplift the challenges and opportunities we face in a rapidly shifting landscape. #abortionishealthcare

Greetings from beautiful Culver City! Today, kicks off our annual Sexual Health Update. #SHU2024

Today is the 59th anniversary of #Griswold vs. Baird 🎉, the #SCOTUS decision that granted married couples the legal right to use birth control and the right to privacy in family planning. It’s absurd that decades later, the right to birth control is still up for debate. Birth control means bodily autonomy and bodily freedom, so that people can control their own lives and futures. #BansOffOurBodies #GratefulForGriswold

Thank you Senator Laphonza Butler for your support of the Right to Contraception Act and uplifting the perspectives of youth and the importance of contraceptive access for young people in California and nationwide.   “Access to contraception is not just a health issue—it's a lifeline for our autonomy and future. Access to contraception is about giving us the power to shape our destinies. When we have the tools to manage our health, we can stay in school, build stable families, and contribute positively to our communities. The ability to get contraception enables us to lead healthier, more productive lives and achieve our dreams. It’s about fostering personal responsibility, stability, and economic self-reliance,” said Martin Orea and Emily Oh, incoming first-year college students and Youth Health Equity + Safety Ambassadors with Essential Access Health.   Watch the full remarks here: https://lnkd.in/gggUvkET

It's been almost 2 years since #SCOTUS overturned Roe, and the fight to protect birth control access has become the new battleground. Birth control is essential to having autonomy over our bodies, lives, and futures. We say #HandsOffMyBC! #RightToContraceptionAct https://lnkd.in/gF5cw433
