Women’s Choice Clinic of Oakland, the venerated feminist health clinic that has provided non-judgmental, culturally sensitive abortion and reproductive health care services to Bay Area women for 36 years has been forced to close its doors (Press Conference, Wed. April 8: Oakland City Hall, 1:00).

WCC is the oldest feminist health center in the nation providing abortions. However it is not anti-abortion protests that are forcing the clinic to close, nor is it a decline in demand for services.

The problem is California’s chronic low and slow reimbursements for MediCal services, and the current freeze on reimbursements - That is the culprit !! (More info here...)
