Our Resources - Women's Health

Women have unique health care needs throughout their lives, especially during their reproductive years. Everyone deserves the ability to make the reproductive choices that are best for them. Access to birth control and safe, legal abortion is critical for women to be able to lead healthy lives and make family planning decisions. CWLC protects these legal rights by filing amicus briefs in federal court to oppose harmful policy proposals, supporting providers with legal guidance for handling anti-abortion protesters, conducting research on crisis pregnancy centers, and hosting trainings to keep attorneys up-to-date on rapidly changing national policies and regulations.
