'''OVERVIEW'''


By American standards, New York City is a very progressive city in offering sexual and reproductive health care services. Abortion is legal and widely 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 treatment, such as Plan B, to people in the past. While New York City is very expensive, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn, there are low-cost options for health care, especially for people enrolled in Medicaid programs.

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 here are low-cost options, including free clinics, sliding scale clinic and Medicaid programs.


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.
