Show full summary
  • People with disabilities: Highlights that about 1 in 4 adults have a disability and about 4.1 million parents have disabilities, and it calls attention to a history of forced sterilization and higher rates of sexual violence.
  • Families and prospective parents: Notes that people with disabilities want children at similar rates as others but are less likely to receive contraception counseling, face higher sterilization rates, and are at greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
  • Federal accountability and advocacy: Calls on the President to uphold Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to support equitable access to reproductive health care.
