Thank you for your comments.

NYS displayed bold action in 1970. At that time, Planned Parenthood in Syracuse, under the leadership of of Ellen Fairchild, provided safe, affordable 1st trimester abortion procedures at their outpatient clinic on E GeneseevSt. The focus was on "planned" parenthood and providing quality reproductive health care and services to prevent unintended pregnancies. The clinic was also the primary source of health care for most of the women who received services. Comprehensive care, including counseling and educational services were provided. The delivery of exceptional care to me Is "pro-life" and pro-choice.

East Genesee St PP is where we went. A former Victorian single family house with a large wrap around covered porch. The overall healthcare for my wife was our purpose.

Yes, PPC Syracuse believed in treating the "total package" and were committed to excellence in health care. Ellen Fairchild was a courageous and inspirational servant leader; her husband was a leader in palliative health care. They made the world a better place.

On 1971 I worked at a free clinic in Michigan, giving women phone numbers to get legal abortions in New York, and to get financial support for the trip. Lifesavers.
