The Rights of Childbearing People

This pamphlet, created by Childbirth Connection, provides twenty health care related rights of pregnant and birthing people. It details rights pertaining to birth care options, access to records, and medical policies and procedures.

We must ensure that all childbearing women have access to information and care that is based on the best scientific evidence now available, and that they understand and have opportunities to exercise their right to make health care decisions. Women whose rights are violated need access to legal or other recourse to address their grievances.
