Guests:
Amy Moy, Essential Access Health
Fiona Lu, Gen Up
This is the start of a series of episodes with activists, policy makers, and legislators discussing politics and bodily autonomy. Amy Moy works with Essential Access Health to make sure health care service providers have the knowledge, skills, and funding to provide services to all people regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ability to pay, insurance status, documentation status and more. Fiona Lu is a high school student and policy director for Gen Up, a student-led organizaation which creates and advocates for policies to better the lives of youth.
We discuss SB541, a bill working its way through the CA legislative process which would mandate schools provide free condoms for students. Condom access is a primary reason many students do not use barrier protection and why 50 percent of all chlamydia cases is in someone under 18.
We talk about the new constitutional right in California for reproductive care and abortion services and what that means for people in states hostile to abortion. Essential Access Health is administering major grants for increasing service capacity (especially in the Los Angeles area) as well as funds to cover lost wages, transportation, hotel lodging, and post-procedure care for people traveling to access abortion services.
We discuss Title X and what that means for minors seeking health care.
