'''OVERVIEW'''
'''OVERVIEW'''


San Francisco has a rich history of supporting women's rights, LGBT rights and progressive health care. Abortion is legal, Plan B is widely accessible, and there are many low-cost clinics, especially concentrated in the Mission, SOMA, Tenderloin and Haight districts. Due to the recent tech boom, the city has grown increasingly expensive. But there are still quite a few free or sliding-scale clinics, women's centers and STD testing facilities. Outside of San Francisco, there are many resources in neighboring Oakland and Berkeley, as well, which can be accessed via BART, the Bay Area's underground rapid public transit.

In the United States, abortion has been fully legal since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision (1973). If you're a minor (under 18 years old), you don't need permission from your parents to receive an abortion in California, and you don't need to notify them either.<ref>[https://sexetc.org/action-center/sex-in-the-states/ Sex in the States - California]</ref>
