The document discusses issues around women's reproductive rights and health. It covers topics like family planning, maternal mortality, contraceptives, and challenges women face in controlling their reproductive choices due to male partners, governments, corporations, and religious organizations. Reproductive freedom is critical to women's equality and empowerment, but reproductive health problems remain leading causes of ill health and death for women of child-bearing age globally.

A Proposal for Legislation: How To Reduce Recidivism Rates Among Utah Female ...HadleyHege
Female recidivism and unintended pregnancy rates are rising in Utah and the United States. Both create a great amount of financial responsibility to the state and federal government. Unintended pregnancy causes strain on female parolees and increases risk for recidivistic activity by destabilizing the reintegration process. While some states are beginning to offer programs surrounding reproductive health to women during incarceration, they are few and far between. Without established standards these courses are subjective and left to the correctional administration’s discretion. In Utah there are virtually no programs available in prisons and jails offering reproductive education. In this project I address with Dr. Larry Bench female recidivism and unintended pregnancy in Utah and the United States. Based on our research, we find many incarcerated women lack knowledge surrounding reproductive health, often holding negative views towards pregnancy, and have a history of unintended pregnancy, many of which have high risk complications that are costly. We propose a cost-effective solution for Utah through legislation that addresses both issues. Establishing a standard equal opportunity class led by a knowledgeable educator on female reproductive health for voluntary female offenders incarcerated in Utah will; ensure equal opportunity access to information, reduce recidivism and the risk for unintended pregnancy, decrease the tax dollars, and aid in the reintegration process. By decreasing pregnancies that are unintended we will enable parolees and probationers to become reintegrated without added stressors and responsibilities that arise with pregnancy. This will reduce the risk for recidivistic activity and cost to the state while building more stable families and women who are reintegrated into the community.

Maternal care is essential for women and infants. Maternal care extends from the pregnancy period to the period after giving birth. The use of contraceptives lies in this sector of healthcare. Florida's policies on the use of contraceptives allow everyone from any age to purchase contraceptives. Therefore, even at an age below 18 years, it is possible and legal to acquire contraceptives. Abortion is a criminal offense in several nations all over the world. In Florida, abortion is legal. Fifty-six percent of Florida's adults revealed that abortion ought to be legal in most or even all cases. However, Florida requires that, for all persons under the age of eighteen years, a legal guardian or parent be notified of the abortion before the plan is put into motion and permit the victim to have an abortion. Insurance cover does not cover voluntary abortion. However, suppose the abortion is meant to protect the mother's life, and it is certified by a medical professional. In that case, a case can be made for the insurance to cover the abortion (Ely et al., 2020). Therefore, abortion for women with insurance cover may differ a little bit from those without insurance cover (Ely et al., 2020).
Florida's infant mortality rate was 6.01 deaths per thousand live births in 2019 (Atwell, 2019). Infant and maternal mortality rates are related in that they occur during birth or abortion. Infant mortality is the death of an infant during childbirth, while maternal mortality is the death of the mother during the process of giving birth. Infant and maternal mortality rates may occur mostly during abortions if the process is not performed well; or due to other complications during the process of giving birth (Atwell, 2019).

Access to Maternal Health Resources and Polices in Florida State
Florida is a developed state where maternal health is taken seriously. The family planning health services there are rendered by independent agencies and health departments of local hospitals. For example, women of different ages and with various levels of income have access to FDA-approved birth control methods, screening for cancer and STDs, pregnancy tests and counseling (Blakeney et al., 2020). Moreover, the healthcare system of the state is able to provide follow-up and referral services. Those residents of Florida who live below the poverty line are provided with the abovementioned services for free. When it comes to abortion, it can be administered to all pregnant women up to 18 weeks. When it comes to teenagers, Florida law requires them to notify their parents about the intention to have an ab ...
