Advocacy: PRCH in Your State

PRCH aims to create a savvy, committed network of pro-choice physician advocates in all 50 states, ready to provide state lawmakers with the medical perspective on reproductive health issues when the need arises.  

PRCH physicians have been on the forefront of recent efforts to preserve comprehensive reproductive healthcare, helping to defeat the abortion ban ballot measure in South Dakota, as well as parental notification propositions in California and Oregon.

In addition, PRCH's Bay Area Community Organizing Project helps physicians preserve and advance reproductive healthcare in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
