The Unsung Heros of Abortion Access: Independant Clinics in the Fight for Reproductive Healthcare
With the overturning of Roe V. Wade in 2022 and America’s political landscape becoming increasingly conservative, women’s right to sexual and reproductive healthcare, including abortion, is once again being threatened.
In order to preserve abortion access and reproductive healthcare in these uncertain times and work to bridge the gap between the quality of care received by immigrant women and female American-born citizens, I urge NYAAF to 1) partner with and allocate funding to Garden State Gynecology, 2) formulate a rideshare or
discounted ride program alongside Lyft for low income women seeking abortions from out of state, and 3) fund a public advertising campaign for Opill, the first legal
over-the-counter birth control, in Chinese, Spanish, English, Arabic, and Hindi.
