By American standards, New York City is a very progressive city regarding sexual and reproductive health services. Abortion is legal and accessible, and Planned Parenthood facilities exist in all five boroughs. There is an especially large concentration of clinics in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but clinics can be found throughout the city. However, it should be noted that some parts of the city are more conservative than others, and there have been cases of pharmacies refusing to sell Plan B in the past. Generally speaking, New York City is very expensive, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But there are cheaper options, including free clinics | By American standards, New York City is a very progressive city regarding sexual and reproductive health services.

Generally speaking, New York City is very expensive, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But there are cheaper options, including free clinics and sliding-scale clinics. Some facilities offer free condoms or Plan B. If you're currently uninsured, it's recommended that you see if you're eligible for Medicare or seek out hospitals/clinics that actively work with low-income individuals. We have provided information below about some of these facilities. | |||
Regarding transportation, it is very easy to get around NYC, and you can visit most clinics without a car. The subway system runs 24/7, though trains run less frequently on late nights and weekends. There are also city buses. The fare for a subway or local bus ride is currently $2.75. If you want to visit Staten Island, there's a free ferry that runs between Manhattan-Staten Island. If you prefer to get around by taxi/car, there are a plethora of taxis and ride-share services, like Uber and Lyft. | Regarding transportation, it is very easy to get around NYC, and you can visit most clinics without a car.
