Sexual and reproductive rights have been recognized as human rights and key to assuring equitable development. Implementing these rights, however, remains a challenge. Latin America and the Caribbean have some of the most restrictive reproductive health laws and policies in the world, particularly regarding abortion. These have been found to be largely responsible for the region’s high proportional rate of maternal death as a result of unsafe abortion. The legislative landscape is changing in some countries, however. With Chile’s recent decriminalization of abortion in three specific cases and two bills pending in El Salvador’s Congress that would repeal their total abortion ban, the region may be trending toward liberalizing policies and regulations regarding reproductive rights.
To better understand the current state of sexual and reproductive rights in the region and what changes may be in the offing, the Dialogue is pleased to partner with the Center for Reproductive Rights and the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law to host some of the region’s top analysts, activists, and lawmakers for an open and frank exchange on the issues surrounding sexual and reproductive rights. This forum will review legal advances and setbacks in several countries and consider possible future scenarios, such as the lingering effects of the Zika virus. We will also ask what impact factors such as high rates of sexual violence, access to information, sex education, and emergency contraception may have on ensuring respect for reproductive freedom as a human right.

Governor Charlie Baker, joined by Senate President Karen Spilka, signs legislation to further protect access to reproductive health care services in Massachusetts following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade at the State House on July 29, 2022. The legislation codifies several measures that were first included in an Executive Order issued by Governor Baker in the hours following the Supreme Court’s decision last month. The law also adopts several new or expanded measures to protect access to reproductive health services in the Commonwealth. All the protections in the bill apply equally to reproductive and gender-affirming health care services provided or accessed in the Commonwealth. [Joshua Qualls/Governor’s Press Office]
Here are reproductive structures on (I believe) the small-leaved Orobus-seed Liverwort (Targionia hypophylla, Marchantiophyta) growing on a sandstone outcrop in the canyon. I'm not sure if these are the asexual buds known as gemmae which splash out in the rain, or real sporophytes for sexual reproduction. They do have the same bumpy texture as the gemmae of the California Liverworts (Asterella californica) in this photo, and I suspect that's what they are. They are quite small, only about about 180 pixels across in this 1:1 macro shot, which comes to about 0.7 mm. (See here for how I figured.) I didn't think about it at the time, but now I'm curious about those other green leafy plants in the photo. Are they mosses? (San Marcos Pass, 21 December 2016)

The male reproductive structures (antheridia) in Marchantia and allied liverworts are produced in special structures called antheridiophores. They are in sunken "crypts" and release their sperm when rain falls on the upper surface of the antheridiophore.

Join this year's Pro-Choice Presence!
May 13 2010
Every year church groups, religious clubs and Catholic school students gather to protest womens' reproductive freedom.
I was able to join a peaceful, Pro-Choice counter-protest. We were allowed to stand on the sidewalk while the 'March for Life' went by. A row of bike Police in flourescent lime jackets stood between we 36 - 45 Pro-Choicers and 8,000+ 'Pro-Life' marchers.
This video highlights one of the many reasons why I believe so much in reproductive freedom and justice.

Our project focuses on improving sexual reproductive health knowledge among teenagers to curb unintended pregnancies and the spread of HIV/AIDS and other related diseases among teenagers in schools. Through this project we intend to reach out to 150 teenage girls with vital information that will prevent them from becoming pregnant, contracting diseases and dropping out of school. This will enable them to stay in school and unleash their potentials without being compromised by traditions and wrong perceptions. They will be able to defend themselves when their rights are tampered with and make informed and responsible decisions about themselves.
