Screenshot of Ms. Magazine article the header reads, "Independent Clinics Still Provide Most U.S. Abortions." The subheader reads, "Independent clinics provide the majority of the U.S. abortions -- and are increasingly the backbone of care, especially for later procedures and patients navigating post-Roe bans and clinic closures." Below is a photo from a family planning clinic in Arizona, a provider with a faceless patient sitting in a chair.
Despite underfunding and limited name recognition, independent clinics like ours deliver nearly all later abortion care in the US. Thanks to @avaslocum.bsky.social for shining a light on the essential role indie clinics play across the nation. @msmagazine.com
