This morning’s spending bill makes some important investments, but the funding we need to help address our sexual and reproductive health and rights crisis is nowhere near where we need it to be.
While the spending bill doesn't provide essential new investments in sexual & reproductive health care...
...It DOES fail to permanently end the #GlobalGagRule & the Hyde Amendment, which together put the reproductive health care we all deserve out of reach for millions.

We cannot accept our health and rights being used as a bargaining chip by those who want to control our bodies and our futures.
Thank you to our champions, who are still fighting to protect and expand sexual and reproductive health care here & globally.

Conservative evangelical efforts to infringe on a woman’s right to choose has spread to Canada as well as in United States.
This is a danger to women and girls all over the world. 🧵

3/ TFG allocated $8.8 BILLION extending #GlobalGagRule worldwide. This is damaging to women in emerging countries where allowing women to work and plan pregnancies helps to build struggling economies, lifting families out of poverty. #ONEV1 #DemVoice1

We @Catholic4Choice welcome @JoeBiden as the first prochoice Catholic president & call on him to protect & expand abortion rights in the first days of his presidency. President Biden frequently connects his care for the poor, the sick & the vulnerable to his Catholic faith.(1/10)
As a longtime champion of women’s rights and the rights of marginalized people, @JoeBiden surely understands that policies like the #GlobalGagRule, the #HydeAmendment & the #HelmsAmendment inflict disproportionate suffering on the poor, the sick and the powerless. (2/10)
@JoeBiden has dissented from Catholic teaching on issues related to marriage equality, transgender rights and contraception because he realizes that the church’s teachings on these topics do not reflect the church’s greater call to justice, equality and human dignity. (3/10)
NEW: The @StateDept's second review of the #GlobalGagRule is finally out. And while it attempts to minimize the harm the policy has caused, it confirms what health orgs & advocates have known for years: #GGR disrupts access to vital family planning & #SRH services.
The #GGR report does little to shed light on the number of organizations harmed by this policy--due to their inability to comply and in turn partner with the US. bit.ly/2Q5wE3T
Ultimately, shifts in providers leave behind communities already facing the greatest barriers to care, including women & girls left without access to #SRH services.
BREAKING: Today the US State Department released its review of the harmful #GlobalGagRule. The results? In short, the report identified tangible harms caused by the policy that extend well beyond family planning programs to a range of other health programs. #SRHR
Rather than serving public health, the #GlobalGagRule curtails access to essential clinical services & strips health care providers of their ability to serve the needs of their patients. More on the harms of this discriminatory policy ↓ gu.tt/2Scpg8m
35 million abortions take place every year in unsafe conditions, leading to about 23,000 preventable pregnancy-related deaths. The US has a critical role to play in making abortion care safe & accessible for all, but the #GlobalGagRule runs counter to that responsibility.
Last week, colleagues @Guttmacher and I put forward 9 key actions that #Congress should take to support sexual and reproductive rights during the #COVID19Pandemic. As they work on a fourth relief package, here's a reminder of what they should do:

1) Treat sexual and reproductive health care as the essential care it is. This includes ensuring that patients may continue to travel for reproductive health care even under any measures that restrict most commerce and travel. More on that here:

2) Protect and expand access to comprehensive health insurance coverage, including by supporting Medicaid and expanding ACA marketplace coverage:

@amyklobuchar @ewarren @DevalPatrick .@amyklobuchar promises to "appoint good judges who respect the law." #OurRightsOurCourts
Our Supreme Court case is, at its core, a matter of respecting the law and legal precedent. We are challenging a law that is IDENTICAL to one declared unconstitutional by #SCOTUS in 2016.

@amyklobuchar @ewarren @DevalPatrick When asked about what she would do to ensure affordable or free contraception for those who need it, @amyklobuchar responds:
1. Fund @PPFA
2. Make it known that 1 in 5 Americans get their health care from places like Planned Parenthood at some point in their lifetime.
