San Francisco has a long cultural history of supporting women's reproductive rights, LGBT rights and progressive health care.  
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. Some of the clinics cater to certain populations, so it's wise to first confirm that you qualify for care. But, generally, there are a plethora of resources available, many of which are concentrated in the Mission, SOMA, Tenderloin and Haight districts. The city is especially responsive to STD testing and treatment, as well. In the 1980s and '90s, San Francisco was hit hard by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and this lead to a range of resources -- from community centers to rapid testing facilities -- to be introduced and continue their work today. 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.
