Reproductive rights are under attack in North Carolina.
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, North Carolina became the last bastion of abortion access in the South, as state after state fell to dangerous, restrictive abortion bans. Now, the state faces its own reproductive health crisis since the passage of Senate Bill 20, a bill that severely restricts abortion access and bans abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
North Carolina’s Abortion Story is an impactful documentary that aims to amplify the voices of individuals navigating the landscape of reproductive rights in North Carolina. The film explores the history of abortion in North Carolina, the modern movement for reproductive justice, and the impact of abortion bans on patients and providers. Through intimate interviews, personal narratives, and expert commentary, the documentary paints a vivid picture of the historic and current barriers impacting people seeking abortion in the state. Join us as we dive into the devastating impact of political attacks in a state already struggling to provide abortion seekers with safe harbor.
“Quality health care at an affordable cost”
Every US resident should have access to affordable, quality health care, including birth control and the privacy to make reproductive choices.
The US health care system should provide a basic level of quality health care at an affordable cost to all US residents. Basic care includes disease prevention, primary care (including prenatal and reproductive health), acute long-term care, mental health care, as well as health promotion and education. Health care policy goals should include the equitable distribution of services and delivery of care, advancement of medical research and technology, and a reasonable total national expenditure level.
Over the past 20 years, the League has lobbied for health care policy solutions, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), to control costs and ensure a basic level of care for all. Throughout the health care debates of the past few decades, Leagues worked to provide millions of Americans across the country with objective information about the health care system and its significant reforms. This included organizing community education projects, holding public forums and debates, creating and distributing resource materials, and engaging leading policy makers and analysts.
