The Attorney General’s Office issues consumer alerts regarding reproductive rights issues to help consumers make informed decisions.
Understanding the difference between “crisis pregnancy centers” and licensed facilities that provide reproductive health care
For patients considering or seeking abortion care, crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) can be an obstacle hiding in plain sight. CPCs are rarely licensed medical facilities. In general, the main goal of CPCs is to persuade patients not to have abortions.
Understanding Arizona Law Regarding IVF
Following the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling regarding in vitro fertilization, patients in Arizona could be wondering whether they can still plan for and undergo IVF to grow their families. IVF is still legal in Arizona. But, like many topics related to reproductive healthcare, this remains a fluid area of the law that might change in the future.
Protect Your Privacy When Seeking Reproductive Healthcare
With the proliferation of healthcare technology like period-tracking and fertility apps, data privacy has new urgency for reproductive healthcare. The Attorney General’s Office issued a consumer advisory to inform Arizonans how to protect their privacy in the digital space.
