HAPA
is a coalition of civic, educational, religious,
professional, and health organizations from
all over the state working together to improve
access to healthcare and protect reproductive
choice in Indiana.
We
advocate for the health and safety of women,
children, and families. We are concerned with
improving access to reproductive healthcare
for poor, young, and minority women, and protecting
reproductive choice for everyone. Improving
access and protecting choice means:
- Making
contraception accessible and affordable
- Providing
information about reproductive healthcare
and different types of contraception
- Providing
medically accurate, age-appropriate sex education
- Ensuring
medical testing and treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases
- Protecting
the right of individuals to make their own
reproductive decisions, including the right
to become a parent, the right to prevent pregnancy,
and the right to end a pregnancy.
Through
education and advocacy, HAPA works to inform
the public about the issues and encourage legislators
and policymakers to enact responsible, effective
measures to prevent unplanned pregnancy and
ensure good health for Hoosiers.
