YRE’s own Dr. Tracey Wilkinson provided evidence-based testimony in a U.S. Congressional hearing last week on national threats to birth control access. Young people, she states, are particularly at risk.

AAP's latest guidelines on contraception for adolescents promotes evidence-based, person-centered care for young people. To learn more about how to tailor your contraceptive options counseling, read their new clinical report, co-authored by two YRE members.

A large green speech bubble on an off-white background. Inside is a quote that reads "We recommend pediatricians explore a teen's reproductive health goals and birth control knowledge and preferences without making assumptions." Without making assumptions is underlined. The quote is attributed to Andrea J. Hoopes, MD, MPH. Underneath her name it states "YRE's Director of Clinical Linkages and co-author of AAP's latest policy statement".

“Minors are often targeted by restrictive policies and less able to use routes to abortion care common for adults—traveling to another state or using telehealth—leaving them disproportionately impacted” says YRE's own @lauralindberg.bsky.social in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

As Expected, Minors Are Among Those Most Impacted by Anti-Abortion Laws
“Without access to abortion, these girls have lost the ability to control their lives and their futures,” one researcher said.

New research from YRE's @lauralindberg.bsky.social & @juliemaslowsky.bsky.social finds that over 7 million girls ages 13-17 live in states that ban or severely restrict their abortion access! This means the majority of minors in the US now face stigmatizing barriers when seeking care. bit.ly/3EdIOnO

New research from @nberpubs.bsky.social shows that thousands of young people have left states with near-total abortion bans since Dobbs. Young people deserve to plan their futures in their communities of choice and should not be coerced into leaving by these harmful restrictions

Abortion bans seem to be driving young people to move out of state
New research suggests that states could see huge economic implications.
