Healing beyond borders: Why immigration justice is reproductive justice

From the Article

An op-ed by PRH Fellow Dr. Alexandra Fayne

One month ago, I had the unforgettable opportunity to lobby at Capitol Hill for a number of bills aiming to further reproductive justice. Thirty of my fellow physicians and I, all fellows with Physicians for Reproductive Health (PRH), a doctor-led organization that uses medicine and science to advance access to reproductive and sexual health care for all patients, spoke to our federal representatives and senators of our respective states. Our advocacy centered on immigration justice policies to protect patients and families, specifically advocating for the HEAL Act, Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, and the Stop Shackling and Detaining Pregnant People Act.
