33 Years of Advocacy

The issue areas PRH advocates for every day and the reach of our collective efforts.

Since our beginnings in 1992, we’ve made major strides in the fight for comprehensive reproductive health care—but we’re not done yet.

Access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care including abortion care has always been core to PRH’s fight. But with more threats to our collective health and wellbeing than ever before, we know that this is about so much more than the legal right to abortion care.

PRH skills up physician advocates across the country to make health care easier to access for all of us. We work with equity in mind knowing that people of color, LGBTQ+ people, people experiencing poverty, immigrants, and young people always bear the brunt of systemic oppressions.

We don’t stop at just making health care accessible, we aim to create a world where people feel safe to access the care they need. That means understanding the interconnectedness of bans on health care and the criminalization of people accessing and providing that care. That means advocating for changes in policy and procedure to address the maternal mortality crisis in our country.

This work is about all of us, and we are committed to advocating for a world where no one gets left behind.

We deserve more than the legal right to access care. We deserve care that is liberatory.”
