Designating a day in May 2025, as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day".
HRES 453 designates a day in May 2025 as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day" to raise awareness about reproductive rights disparities faced by people with disabilities. The resolution highlights existing barriers - including forced sterilization laws in 31 states, healthcare access challenges, and higher rates of sexual violence - while affirming that people with disabilities have the right to reproductive autonomy. It does not create new legal requirements but calls for increased awareness and alignment with existing laws like the ADA and Rehabilitation Act. The resolution directly addresses systemic inequities impacting people with disabilities, particularly women, people of color with disabilities, and low-income individuals.
