Abstract
This article examines access to reproductive genetics services for low-income women and women of color. It explores implications of the use of reproductive technologies; access and barriers to general prenatal care and its impact on accessing reproductive-genetic services; the implications of obtaining reproductive genetic services through public programs and funding, especially as they relate to equal provision of services. The traditional barriers to reproductive-genetics services; the decision-making process involved in genetic counseling when Caucasians dominate the process of counseling people of color; financial/insurance barriers to care for low-and moderate-income clients are also addressed. Recommendations are made to address the problems and inequities.
