In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24th, 2022, the team at the ASCENT Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health wants to express our deep devotion to women and their individual autonomy in sexual and reproductive health decision making.
