Background
Women with intellectual disabilities experience disparities in perinatal outcomes and unmet needs in perinatal care. Many women with intellectual disabilities receive support from family caregivers, including accompaniment to healthcare visits. This qualitative study explores the experiences of obstetric care clinicians navigating perinatal care with family caregivers of women with intellectual disabilities.
Methods
Transcripts from interviews (n = 9) and a focus group (n = 8) with 17 obstetric care clinicians were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach.
Results
Four major themes emerged: (1) determining intellectual disability and guardianship status; (2) decision-making; (3) navigating ethical, legal, relational, and clinical challenges; (4) caregivers as an integral part of perinatal care.
Conclusions
Family caregiver involvement in perinatal care of women with intellectual disabilities has benefits but can also present challenges for obstetric care clinicians. Clinicians need guidance on how to appropriately manage perinatal care of women with intellectual disabilities.

Social Security and Medicare are part of the retirement security social contract the government has with the American people, but without action from Congress, Trustees of Social Security and Medicare predict shortfalls within the next decade. This Essay begins with a look at the social contract generally, then as applied to Social Security and Medicare. Focusing on Social Security, the Essay explores the reasons for the creation of Social Security and its foundational importance to Americans of all ages, the economy, and social policy. The Essay examines the promises made by various U.S. presidents to the American people, arguing that those promises create an obligation to the American people and are not just political posturing. After examining the addition of Medicare to the retirement security social policy, the Essay considers the forces contributing to the coming shortfalls, including how prior administrations had responded, and argues that when Congress makes changes to the programs, Congress must be guided by the purposes and principles of the programs and the social contract between the government and the people.

Parents with intellectual disabilities (ID) frequently encounter ableism within the child welfare system, particularly in termination of parental rights (TPR) proceedings. To uncover ideological forces contributing to existing disparities, this study examines how historically rooted eugenic ideology manifests in current TPR proceedings involving parents labeled with ID. Using content analysis methods, 25 cases revealed three primary manifestations of eugenic ideology: pathologization of parental disability, privileging of Western medical science, and imposition of unreasonable standards and expectations. These manifestations contribute to a punishment and blame dynamic that ignores structural inequity, requiring comprehensive reform on multiple levels (e.g. legal, systemic, and practice).

The article explores the complex interplay between parental rights, state authority, and student interests in the context of sex education in American public schools. It highlights the ongoing tension between abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education approaches, emphasizing the need for a student-centric framework that balances the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders. The current legal landscape is examined through historical development, seminal court decisions, and recent legislative trends. Empirical evidence is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of comprehensive
sex education in promoting public health and supporting adolescents' development. The article advocates for a framework that incorporates student autonomy, age-appropriate content, and comprehensive teacher training, while addressing practical considerations such as content standards and opt-out provisions. Through this analysis, the article aims to advance understanding of sex education law and advocate for policies that better serve students' health and well-being.
