Doctors Sign “Abortion Provider’s Declaration of Rights” at Awards Ceremony

Two abortion providers were honored at a May 24 ceremony in New York City: one for a "lifelong commitment" to abortion services, the other for the "courage" to begin a medical career that includes abortion. Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health also used the occasion to launch the Abortion Provider’s Declaration of Rights. "The declaration outlines rights all doctors should enjoy — whether or not they provide abortion services — such as the right to live without violence and the right to give patients complete and accurate information about a medical procedure."
