Mary Alice Carter Leads New Equity Forward, Monitoring Women's Reproductive Health Care Rights At HHS
/
Hearings opened for on Jan. 9 for HHS nominee Alex Azar to replace Tom Price as HHS Secretary. Women's health groups launched a full-scale confrontation around women's reproductive health -- clearly under assault by the Trump administration. The issues go far beyond abortion rights and into contraception. Trump has stacked HHS with women who don't believe in birth control.
A new group Equity Forward will be acting as a watchdog focused on reproductive health care at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Mary Alice Carter, the executive director of Equity Forward, which officially launched Friday, said the nonpartisan group will hold accountable organizations and individuals they argue limit access to reproductive health care.
