Email from Physicians for Reproductive Health

Dear John— Our advocates are everywhere this month keeping the pressure on Congress to pass several crucial pieces of legislation, from protecting abortion access to paid leave for people experiencing miscarriage.

I’m sharing just a few highlights in this newsletter, including my op-ed in Morning Consult on the Women’s Health Protection Act and Fellow Dr. Yasaswi Kislovskiy’s conversation with Vox on why we need to support people, however their pregnancies end, including those that end in miscarriage.

And one last thing—reserve your ticket today to our virtual Voices of Courage Benefit on September 22 to be a part of the celebration honoring physician advocates and allies. I hope to see you then!
