    I'm an #ObGyn, with a subspecialty in complex #FamilyPlanning.

    I'm on faculty at #BrownUniversity, where I research family planning #HealthPolicy and #MedicalEthics.

    I'm also a #Quaker, and am proud to tell folks that for me, providing patient-centered #abortion, #birth, and #SexualHealth care is an act of #conscience.
