Abortion is a Public Health Issue: Achieving Access and Equity
A Publication of the LACDPH Office of Women’s Health Decades of evidence demonstrate that full-spectrum reproductive health care, including abortion, empowers people to make reproductive choices that are best for them, their families, and their futures; supports social and economic well-being; and prevents morbidity and mortality, especially among the most vulnerable members of our communities.
