Vy Sovanna, a midwife from PSI, inserts an IUD (intrauterine device) with assistance from local health workers. Vy is one of three PSI outreach workers at a one-day reproductive health clinic at a local health centre in the countryside near Kampong Speu, Cambodia. The health clinic in which they were working had no electricity and no hot running water that day.

SPOTLIGHT SESSION
A Pivotal Window for Reproductive and Maternal Health: How We Can Lead the Vanguard for Availability, Agency, and Access
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Mercury Ballroom
This is a critical moment for reproductive and maternal health around the world. In recent years, preventable maternal deaths have increased; global resources devoted to comprehensive reproductive and maternal health have remained woefully inadequate; and access to these critical services is increasingly being threatened and outright curtailed. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision was a massive setback to reproductive rights and the world is watching to see what will happen next. The pandemic, climate change, and humanitarian crises are worsening already massive inequities that threaten the health and well-being of people around the world. Despite the challenges presented, partnerships across the private sector, civil society, government, and the advocacy community can lead the vanguard with solutions centered on clinical innovation, policy change, and shifting culture.
This session will explore:
How can we accelerate solutions to improve maternal and reproductive health, including new technologies, policies, and service delivery?
How can we address pressing global challenges, such as climate change and food insecurity, in ways that recognize the impact on maternal and reproductive health?
How do we develop cross-sector partnerships to accelerate progress toward achieving comprehensive maternal and reproductive health, access, and rights?

PHILIPPINES: Catholics Risk Excommunication Over Reproductive Rights
MANILA, Jan 6, 2011 (IPS) - Support for reproductive health legislation, popularly known as the RH Bill here, has snowballed on social websites and among peer networks, yet passage and funding of the bill remain uncertain. Catholic bishops have long used the threat of excommunication in the raging debates over use of modern contraceptive methods - such as pills, IUDs and condoms - in the Southeast-Asian nation of over 92 million, 85 percent of whom are Catholic.

Stomaphis graffii, male (994A2), showing the aedeagus (a) and the sclerotised basal part of the phallus (bp). Within the aedeagus it is just possible to make out the twin vasa deferentia (vd). The reproductive organ of the male is normally retained internally, but is everted during copulation as the aedeagus, which measures about 0.5mm in length. The basal part of the phallus (bp) helps to keep the aedeagus inserted into the female during copulation.
Note also the large blister-like primary rhinaria on antennomeres V and VI (upper left, not annotated), which probably act as smell receptors.
The specimen was collected, together with the female, during copulation. The mating male/female pair were preserved in isopropyl alcohol (70%) and then separated. The hind legs of the male have been surgically removed for clarity. Photographed using a combination of reflected (flash) and transmitted light (Dörr light tablet). Image taken on March 20, 2020.
Collected from Field Maple (Acer campestre), Brampton Wood Nature Reserve, Brampton, Cambridgeshire, 16 October 2019.

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]

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.
