A San Francisco doctor plans to help women in states where abortion is limited or banned by offering services on a floating clinic offshore.
Dr. Meg Autry is the vice chair of graduate medical education and continuing medical education for the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at UCSF. Autry said she has had the idea for a vessel that would provide surgical abortions and reproductive health care services for a very long time. It was the recent Supreme Court decision that helped inspire her to kick it into gear. , which stands for Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes.
The vessel would be located on federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, near states where abortions are banned. She wants to offer the services at low or no cost. The cost is expected to be at least $20 million. Dr. Autry said PRROWESS is looking for donations, ideally a donated boat. She knows that pulling this off won't be easy. The group is already working with a team of attorneys.
