- requires members to allow all of their residents to access family planning services easily, safely and at low or no cost, and
- strongly urges members to accurately educate all of their residents about family planning services and the right to sexual autonomy; the GA must not deliver or interfere with such education beyond checking its accuracy.
[R]eproductive rights embrace certain human rights that are already recognized in national laws, international human rights documents and other consensus documents. These rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. It also includes their right to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence, as expressed in [HRD]s.
