The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) supports access to comprehensive pregnancy and reproductive health services, including but not limited to abortion, pregnancy termination, contraception, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and surgical and non-surgical management of ectopic pregnancy, and opposes nonevidence-based restrictions on medical care and the provision of such services.
The AAFP believes that all health plans with coverage for continuing a pregnancy should also have coverage for initiating a pregnancy, including fertility assistance such as intrauterine insemination and assisted reporductive technologies, and ending a pregnancy, including plans from commercial insurers and those funded by state or federal governments.
