Testimony of Jack M. Valpey, MD, MPH Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health Submitted to the South Carolina Senate Subcommittee on Medical Affairs on Senate Bill 84 March 28, 2007
I am writing as a practicing physician of the state of South Carolina and a member of Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health (PRCH) in opposition to Senate Bill 84, a bill to amend section 44-41-330 of the 1976 Code. PRCH is a national, not-forprofit organization created to enable concerned physicians to take a more active and visible role in support of universal reproductive health. We are committed to ensuring that all people have the knowledge, access to quality services, and freedom of choice to make reproductive health decisions. We firmly support universal access to safe, effective, and evidence-based reproductive healthcare. As a physician, I strongly support access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services for the citizens of South Carolina. Thus, I must strongly oppose legislation that creates an unnecessary burden on patients seeking access to reproductive healthcare services. The South Carolina legislature

“Whether she aborts or doesn’t abort, she’s going to have a lot of regrets ... [I]t’s terribly important that this decision not be made by fat, middle-aged men sitting in their ivory tower.”
