Access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, including abortion, is key to a person’s well-being. On June 24th, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, which has implications for federally protected abortion access and state laws that are aimed at limiting abortion access.
The July session of Hot Topics in Practice will share why abortion access is a public health issue and how Washington state has addressed it through a public health framework.
