The Low-Income Access Program works to increase access to reproductive health care, including abortion, emergency contraception, birth control, and pregnancy services, for all women who face financial barriers.
Some of the current projects within LIAP include:
Expanding Access to Birth Control. We are working with advocates around the country to ensure Medicaid coverage for over-the-counter emergency contraception. Click here for more information.
Expanding Access to Abortion. We are working with advocates to improve low-income women's access to abortion.
Expanding Access to Health Care. We are working with advocates around the country to work to ensure adequate Medicaid coverage, and to expand health care coverage for all.
