Government website offering reproductive health information goes offline
CBSN
Government website reproductiverights.gov appeared to be offline on the evening of President Donald Trump's inauguration.
The site, launched in 2022 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of a public awareness campaign, contained information on access to abortion and reproductive health care and a Know-Your-Rights patient fact sheet.
"Reproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being," a statement on the website read. "While Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law."
