...because one of the greatest obstacles to safe, legal abortion today is not the law.

It is the absence of trained providers...

Medical Students for Choice is a national organization which was founded in 1993 by medical students concerned about the shortage of abortion providers, lack of abortion education in medical schools, and escalating violence against practitioners. The chapter at UC Davis School of Medicine was founded in 1994 .
