The Afiya Center has ALWAYS supported women having access to the FULL SPECTRUM OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES. Period. This billboard is just a physical representation of language we’ve been using this whole time. We believe the ONLY people who can make decisions about women’s bodies are the women themselves. We are for complete autonomy. COMPLETE AUTONOMY. 100%, with no caveats.

If the word abortion feels like a dog whistle, sit back and ask yourself who programmed you to react that way.

Have a blessed day

“Do y’all realize the only women who seem to be very against black women accessing the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare services are........black women? Who taught y’all that the only way to live was your way? Who taught y’all that the only way to engage with other women was to tear them down? When you engage with another woman is this how you act?

The Afiya Center wants all black women to have full access to the healthcare that they need (which is revolutionary in and of itself, considering that black folks don’t generally have consistent healthcare), without any caveats."
