Designating a day in May 2024, as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day".

HRES 1273 designates a day in May 2024 as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day" to raise awareness about reproductive rights barriers faced by people with disabilities. The resolution highlights historical and ongoing issues like forced sterilization laws, accessibility gaps in healthcare, and higher rates of sexual violence, while referencing existing protections under the Rehabilitation Act, ADA, and Affordable Care Act. It does not create new laws but calls for greater attention to ensuring people with disabilities can exercise reproductive autonomy. This resolution directly affects millions of people with disabilities, particularly women, people of color with disabilities, and those with low incomes, who face systemic barriers in reproductive healthcare.
