A resolution designating a day in May 2024, as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day".
SRES 703 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating a day in May 2024 as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day." It aims to raise awareness about reproductive rights barriers faced by people with disabilities, including historical forced sterilizations and current challenges like inaccessible healthcare and discrimination. The resolution does not create new laws but calls for recognition of the right to reproductive autonomy and urges continued enforcement of existing anti-discrimination laws like the ADA and Rehabilitation Act. It directly affects people with disabilities, particularly those facing compounded barriers due to disability, race, income, or LGBTQI+ status.
