TUCSON, Ariz. — The Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday, July 5 to pass a resolution stating the County's support for reproductive health care and family planning services in the county and state.“Abortion is healthcare.
Bronson stated that Resolution 2022-40 is the board's reaction to the United States Supreme Court's June 24 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. The Resolution states, “Abortion is a vital health care service that has been legal and safe in the United States for nearly 50 years. Access to legal, safe abortion, and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health more broadly, are critical to protecting and supporting the public’s health. The Supreme Court’s decision ends this basic right of safe access to appropriate health care for too many women and families in this country.
“Make no mistake, denying someone the choice to safely terminate their pregnancy is not about saving a possible life. It is a form of oppression. Forcing women and individuals who are pregnant to carry a child to term against their will puts their health at risk, strips them of bodily autonomy, and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. It’s sad that we live in a country where my daughter has fewer rights and freedoms than her mother and grandmother had.
To assist County residents seeking reproductive health care, the Health Department last week developed a webpage that compiles all of the County's reproductive and family planning services.Bivian Contreras is a real-time editor for KGUN 9.
