'It is important that NYC is centering investment in women's health because the current inequity results in intergenerational harm and limits the possibilities for women and girls.'
It is painful to reflect on this date in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision last year to overturn Roe with the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
In the wake of Dobbs, the Roe anniversary is a critical moment for everyone to re-evaluate how we center and respect women and their rights. All of us entered medicine because we wanted to provide women with personal, informed, compassionate and excellent care. As both providers and consumers of health care we see the inequities in the care we receive and in the environments in which we work. Unfortunately, our experiences are shared by millions of other women of color. This reality calls for a public health system that stands for anti-racism, reproductive justice and economic rights for women.
Ensuring medication abortion is available at New York City’s public health clinics is another way we are delivering on our conviction that abortion services are an essential part of reproductive care.
