Restrictions on private insurance coverage of abortion pose a danger to abortion access and better health coverage

Geography

Global

The Guttmacher Institute conducts global studies on topics such as the incidence of abortion, barriers to contraceptive use, and the reproductive health needs of adolescents. Through its Adding It Up series, the Institute generates evidence on the costs and benefits of investing in SRH services in the developing world. Guttmacher also brings an evidence-based perspective to key policy discussions—for example, by leading an effort to ensure that sexual and reproductive health indicators are given priority in the emerging global development agenda.

Hear From An Expert

It’s significant that sexual and reproductive health and rights issues are now recognized explicitly as integral to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, since that was not the case with the previous iteration of global development goals. The next hurdle is to ensure that countries adopt, adapt to and commit to these global goals
