Two issues that most likely affect you and everyone you’ve ever met are reproductive freedom and access to affordable and equitable healthcare. These issues are especially important during a pandemic, but as it stands, they are both under attack.
This can’t stand. Bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom must be protected for all people, regardless of class, race, gender, sexual orientation, and income.
Experts from Planned Parenthood will be answering your questions on reproductive rights, the importance of affordable healthcare for all, the lack of resources in underserved communities, how Planned Parenthood plans to address these issues, and how you can advocate for reproductive and healthcare rights. The Issue Time is scheduled to go live on Thursday, September 17 at 12 pm EST.
