ASRM echoes the @gao.gov finding that improved communication with veterans around fertility care and eligibility is necessary. We maintain that the best way to ensure care for every veteran and active-duty service member is to provide access to the full spectrum of reproductive health services.

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day. Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.
Abortion is healthcare. Abortion should be regulated like other health services so that women and girls can access safe, timely and respectful care.

Ahead of oral arguments in LA v. FDA, ASRM reasserts that using mifepristone for miscarriage care and medication abortion is safe, effective, and supported by decades of clinical evidence. Restricting access makes care more expensive and out of reach, harming patients and providers alike.
