Story No. 10: Dr. Anne from New York

One week after Trump was elected, our gynecology office received a phone call we had never received before. A woman in Brooklyn, very far from our office, was calling to find a doctor who would remove her contraceptive implant. We asked why she would travel so far when there are a number of good clinics closer to her home. She explained that she was afraid. She feared visiting her local clinic would result in arrest, as she is undocumented. She heard from a friend that we don’t check papers and that she would be safe at our office, so she called us.
