Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts Endorses Michelle Wu for Mayor

Boston, MA— Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts today announced their enthusiastic endorsement of Michelle Wu for Mayor of Boston. Wu has always been a champion for reproductive freedom. During her time on the Boston City Council, she has supported many measures to secure abortion as basic, accessible healthcare, including the ROE Act, which removed medically unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to abortion care, and ensures patients can access the care they need here in Massachusetts.

“Abortion is and will always be critical, life-saving care,” said Michelle Wu. “I’m honored to have the support of PPAF and look forward to working with them to protect access to reproductive healthcare and connect every person with the care they need.” 

“Michelle Wu is a champion of Planned Parenthood patients and all Bostonians. We need Michelle in the Mayor’s office to protect our rights, dismantle barriers to care, and to build true reproductive freedom for all,” said Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, President of PPAF. "With Michelle’s bold vision and leadership, we can build a stronger, more equitable city for all.” 

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of MA advocates for reproductive rights and works to increase access to sexual and reproductive health care and comprehensive sex education for people across Massachusetts.
