As states implement abortion bans and restrictions, accessing reproductive health care is more difficult. A 2024 University of California, San Francisco report found that diminishing abortion access makes it harder to get other forms of reproductive health care, like treatments for miscarriage and reproductive cancers.

With laws continuing to change, finding updated, accurate information about reproductive health care can be challenging. Fortunately, there are organizations that can give you the facts.
