Designating a day in May 2025, as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day".

This resolution designates a specific day in May 2025 as "Disability Reproductive Equity Day" to underscore the importance of reproductive and sexual health, autonomy, and freedom for people with disabilities. The designation aims to support and bring awareness to the unique challenges faced by this community, including a long history of reproductive coercion such as involuntary sterilization, which has disproportionately affected individuals with disabilities. It acknowledges that people with disabilities encounter significant barriers when accessing reproductive healthcare, ranging from harmful stereotypes and legal guardianship issues to financial constraints and a lack of accessible facilities or trained medical providers. The resolution further pledges the House of Representatives' commitment to advancing these fundamental rights for people with disabilities. It calls upon the President to continue fulfilling the promises of key anti-discrimination legislation, including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These acts are intended to support, bolster, and protect the right of people with disabilities to equitable access and receipt of reproductive and sexual health care, ensuring their ability to decide if, when, and how to start and raise a family.
