Your monthly recap of the news you need to know. 
Email from Physicians for Reproductive Health

Dear John, 

As we ready our physician advocate network for a pivotal new year, I want to thank you for all you have done to make our critical work in 2021 possible.

The challenges ahead of us this year are significant, but we remain determined to take on the harmful laws and systems that deny care to our communities while also using every tool we have to broaden access to the comprehensive health care we all need.

I want to share a few highlights of our work this past month, including this Rewire News Group article featuring several PRH Fellows discussing the important intersection of miscarriage care, abortion restrictions, and their impact on pregnant people.

Thank you again for your continued support, and happy New Year.

Signature of Dr. Jamila Perritt
