Taking Abortion Care on the Road in Pittsburgh

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

The future of abortion access is uncertain right now. But here in Pittsburgh, there’s a small but mighty team trying to make sure people have the information and supplies they need for safe and self managed reproductive care. And they’re doing it all from a ratty old van.  Thanks so much to chief van lady Alecia Ott, owner and founder of the Auto(nomous) Body Shop, and Alexa Pierce, co-founder of the Pittsburgh Abortion Access Network, now known as the Auto(nomous) Body Shop Student Vanbassador Program.
