Welcome to This Week in Women's Health Care—the round-up for women who care about what's going on in Washington and around the country and how it affects their rights. Once a week, we'll bring you the latest news from the world of women's health care policy and explain how it impacts you. Let's get to it!

Here's what's up…

Betsy DeVos wouldn't say whether the Department of Education would punish private schools for discriminating against LGBTQ students.

At a recent Senate hearing, DeVos wouldn't confirm whether private schools that receive government funding would be punished for discriminating against LGBTQ students. To be fair, DeVos promised to adhere to federal anti-discrimination laws—that's a positive. But as Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley pointed out, federal anti-discrimination laws regarding schools are "somewhat foggy"—making DeVos' apparent lack of concern for marginalized students, well, concerning. (And if you were wondering, yes, DeVos is the same education secretary who proposed that schools arm themselves with guns to protect students from "potential grizzlies.")

Hawaii became the first state to defy President Donald Trump and pass a law committing to the Paris Agreement.

As I'm sure you know by now, President Trump decided to pull out of the Paris climate accord—a pact the United States (and nearly 200 other countries) signed in 2015 as a promise to combat climate change. Hawaii didn't like this decision very much, so the state's governor passed two laws that commit to the goals of the Paris Agreement. Hawaii is the first state to take this kind of official action, but several mayors, governors, and university officials have considered doing something similar.

Also: An informal Washington Post-ABC poll shows that nearly 6 in 10 Americans oppose Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Though the poll, which was a national sample of 527 adults, wasn't taken on a large scale, it suggests that governors, mayors, and other high-level officials aren't the only ones upset by Trump's recent move.

New York City just published an LGBTQ Health Care Bill of Rights, and that's awesome.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio honored Pride Month (June) by signing the city's first LGBTQ Health Care Bill of Rights. The idea behind the bill is to protect LGBTQ individuals and ensure that they have access to high-quality health care. "That means working with providers who affirm who they are and incorporate their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression into care," the bill states. The NYC Health Department also published an interactive map residents can use to locate LGBTQ-knowledgeable providers, and launched a "Bare It All" campaign encouraging patients to be honest with their doctors about things like sexual history and past drug use.

Not-so-fun fact: Former president Barack Obama deemed June Pride Month in 2011. His administration honored the month every year after that, too—but the Trump administration doesn't seem too keen on following that precedent and hasn't recognized June as Pride Month at all.

A Walgreens pharmacist reportedly refused to fill a girl’s birth control prescription due to his personal beliefs.

In August 2016, a 15-year-old from New Mexico headed to a local pharmacy to pick up three prescriptions. Her doctor had prescribed her with a pain reliever, an anti-anxiety medication, and misoprostol (which can soften the cervix before an IUD insertion or can be used for medical abortions). Her pharmacist allegedly refused to fill her prescriptions. The teen's mother reportedly argued that the pharmacist didn't know about anything her daughter's medical history or why she needed the medication. He reportedly responded, "Oh, I have a pretty good idea." Within the last week, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and Southwest Women's Law Center have both filed sex-based discrimination complaints about the incident.

Texas just passed one of the strictest abortion laws in the country.

Quick recap: Last week, we talked about the Texas legislature moving forward with an incredibly restrictive anti-abortion law called Senate Bill 8. SB8 would require health care centers to hold burials or cremations for embryonic and fetal tissue from abortion, it would ban donations of fetal and embryonic tissue, and it would prohibit dilation and evacuation abortions, which are the safest and most common way for a woman in her second trimester to terminate a pregnancy. When we last spoke, the bill had just landed on Governor Greg Abbott's desk. And Wednesday, Abbott passed the terrifying law.

Delaware is working to protect abortion access—even if Roe v. Wade gets overturned.

The Delaware legislature has approved a bill that would keep abortion legal in Delaware, even if the Supreme Court decides to overturn Roe v. Wade. As you may already know, Roe v. Wade is the landmark Supreme Court decision that upheld abortion access as a fundamental constitutional right. It's the thing that keeps states from outlawing abortion entirely (even though some of them try to do that anyway by passing extremely restrictive laws—looking at you, Texas). If the Supreme Court ever decides to overturn this decision, the legality of abortion access will fall to the states—which is why Delaware's interested in a law like this. Now that this bill has passed the Delaware legislature, it's up to Governor John Carney, Jr., to sign it into law.
