Reproductive Healthcare Hub

Welcome to the Reproductive Healthcare Hub, your centralized resource for accurate and accessible information on reproductive healthcare in the United States. The Hub was sparked by the need for a dedicated space to empower individuals with the knowledge and the resources for individuals to make the best choices for themselves surrounding their reproductive and healthcare needs. Explore the site to find information on clinics, legal rights, and educational materials. If you know of additional resources or have updates, please contact us via email.


Abortion isn’t a dirty word. Abortion is healthcare. And whether it’s you, a loved one, or a stranger that needs this information, it is offered here, without shame, without guilt, without pretense. Information should be free and easily accessible by all, and information on abortions, birth control, and the like are no exceptions to this.


This platform was created to provide reliable guidance and support during critical times, filling the gap left by the removal of reproductiverights.gov by Donald Trump. Join us in ensuring access to essential information by sharing the Reproductive Healthcare Hub or contributing to its growth. Together, we can advocate for reproductive rights and help this resource reach those who need it most.

Your Reproductive Rights

Below you will find information on your right to access reproductive health care, what your health insurance is required to cover, and where to go if you need health insurance.

Whether you get coverage through your employer, Medicaid, HealthCare.gov, or elsewhere in the private insurance market, most plans cover family planning counseling, birth control, and other preventive services at no additional cost to you. Federal law allows federally-funded health coverage (like Medicaid) to cover abortion in some situations, and some private health insurance plans also cover abortion care.

Please note that all information contained here is pulled directly from reproductiverights.gov as of January 2nd, 2025.

  • In light of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it's more important than ever that you know your rights on receiving emergency medical care.

    • The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA)requires Medicare-participating hospital emergency departments to offer any person who requests it an appropriate medical screening examination within the capability of the hospital’s emergency department.

    • If the hospital determines that you have an emergency medical condition, federal law requires the hospital to offer you treatment until your emergency medical condition is stabilized, or an appropriate transfer to another hospital if you need it.

    • An emergency medical condition includes any medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms and that, in the absence of immediate medical attention, could reasonably be expected to place the person’s health in serious jeopardy. Emergency medical conditions involving pregnant patients may include, but are not limited to, ectopic pregnancy, complications of a pregnancy loss, or emergent hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia with severe features. In some instances, the treatment reasonably necessary to stabilize a pregnant woman’s emergency medical condition may be an abortion.

    • These federal rights preempt any directly conflicting state laws or mandates that apply to specific procedures.1

    1 Please note: pursuant to the injunction in Texas v. Becerra, No. 5:22-CV-185-H (N.D. Tex.), HHS may not enforce the following interpretations contained in the July 11, 2022, CMS guidance (and the corresponding letter sent the same day by HHS Secretary Becerra): (1) the Guidance and Letter’s interpretation that Texas abortion laws are preempted by EMTALA; and (2) the Guidance and Letter’s interpretation of EMTALA — both as to when an abortion is required and EMTALA’s effect on state laws governing abortion — within the State of Texas or against the members of the American Association of Pro Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) and the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA).

  • The Affordable Care Act requires most employer-based health plans and private health insurance plans to cover family planning counseling and to cover certain birth control methods with no out-of-pocket costs to you if you have a prescription. This includes, but is not limited to:

    • Hormonal methods, like birth control pills and vaginal rings

    • Implanted devices, like intrauterine devices (IUDs)

    • Emergency contraception, like Plan B® and ella®

    • Barrier methods, like diaphragms and sponges

    • Patient education and counseling

    • Sterilization procedures

    • And additional forms of contraceptives approved, granted, or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

    To learn more about birth control coverage requirements for different types of health coverage, visit here. To learn more about birth control methods, visit here.

    Some birth control methods are available over-the-counter and without a prescription including:

    • Emergency contraception, like Plan B®

    • Condoms

    • Birth control pills, like Opill®

  • The law prohibits pharmacies that receive federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, and disability in their health programs and activities. While pharmacies regularly dispense medications; make determinations regarding the suitability of a prescribed medication for a patient; and advise patients about medications and how to take them, pharmacies that receive federal financial assistance may not discriminate against pharmacy customers on the bases prohibited by statute when they do so. Read the guidance for the nation's retail pharmacies here.

    HHS is committed to ensuring that people are able to access health care free from discrimination. If you believe that you or another person’s civil rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with HHS here.

  • As a result of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, access to abortion will depend on the state you live in even more than before.

    Mifepristone, in a regimen with misoprostol, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2000 for the termination of early pregnancy, and is safe and effective when used as directed. Mifepristone for medication abortion currently is available for dispensing by mail by certified prescribers or by certified pharmacies for prescriptions issued by certified prescribers, in addition to in-person dispensing in clinics, medical offices, and hospitals.

    If you are covered through Medicaid:

    • While federal Medicaid funds can only cover abortion in the circumstances of rape, incest or if the patient’s life is in danger, there are over a dozen states that provide more comprehensive coverage for abortion using state Medicaid funds. To find out more on state funding of abortions under Medicaid visit this website

    If you are covered through your employer, a plan offered through the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces, or elsewhere in the private market:

    • Coverage will vary by state, employer, and insurance company. In some states, private health insurance plans (including employer coverage) are required or allowed to cover abortion in either all or certain circumstances. Review your plan benefits document to find out whether your plan covers abortion. If you are using a plan where you are not the primary policy holder (for example if you are on a parent’s or spouse’s plan), be mindful that the policy holder may receive documentation from the plan known as an “Explanation of Benefits” that includes information about your care.

    If you need help paying for an abortion, abortion funds may be able to provide financial assistance. Information about abortion funds and resources to help are available at AbortionFinder.org.

    If you need information on your state’s laws or legal help, you may consider this website: AbortionFinder.org.

  • Most employer health plans and health insurance plans must cover certain other preventive health services with no out-of-pocket costs because of the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, they are required to cover women’s preventive health services, including:

    • An annual well-woman visit to screen your health (which may be completed at a single visit or part of a series of visits over time) including a pap smear, breast exam and regular checkup

    • Certain counseling and screening services

    • Breast and cervical cancer screenings

    • Prenatal care, which is care you would receive while pregnant

    • Breastfeeding services and supplies

    • Interpersonal violence screening and counseling (e.g., sexual assault evidence collection exams)

    • HIV screening and sexually transmitted infection (STI) counseling

  • Federal law prohibits health care providers, health insurance plans, and other entities subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule from using or sharing your health information to investigate or impose liability on yourself or any person for the mere act of seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care.2 To learn more click here.
