Colorado now requires private health insurance plans to cover gender-affirming care for trans people like facial bone remodeling and hormone therapy. Health advocates say it’s a very big deal.

The Supreme Court will hear a major abortion case on Wednesday that is focused on whether doctors should be required to have local hospital privileges.

It appears some health care providers that offer birth control, such as Planned Parenthood, are going to withdraw from the federal Title X program. Changes to Title X take effect Monday.

Planned Parenthood says it might have to stop providing abortion services in Missouri. That would make Missouri the first state in the country without a clinic that performs abortions.

Coordinated protests in response to a raft of new state laws restricting abortion took place across the U.S. on Tuesday.

President Trump and Republican abortion opponents are criticizing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Democrats in the state over defense of a bill that sought to reduce restrictions on later abortion.

The stakes are higher with a newly configured U.S. Supreme Court. Abortion rights opponents say they’re ultimately hoping to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Within days of an OD from opioids or other drugs, users in Huntington, W.Va., are visited by a quick-response team at home, the hospital or in jail. Reversing an OD is just recovery’s first step.

Abortion rights advocates are concerned that a conservative-leaning Supreme Court might reverse or substantially erode Roe v. Wade. Under that scenario, states could have free reign to restrict the procedure.
