What does the health care bill mean for sexual health and justice?

Now that President Obama has signed the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" into law, RH Reality Check offers an assessment of the wins, losses and ongoing challenges that the bill represents for sexual and reproductive rights. In another assessment of the legislation, the Guttmacher Institute concludes, "The bill’s onerous abortion restrictions have been rightly denounced by reproductive rights supporters. New funding for evidence-based sex education was regrettably paired with the retention of a failed and discredited abstinence-only program. But, taken together, a number of other provisions in this sweeping measure constitute a clear and significant step forward for the reproductive health of America’s women and men."
