Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund In The Media

The Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund refuses to back down in fighting for women’s access to constitutionally PROTECTED, SAFE and DIGNIFIED reproductive health care.

There continues to be tremendous challenges across the country — here in Kentucky, anti-abortion politicians continue to pass unconscionable laws.

The founders, Dr. Ernest Marshall and Ona Marshall continue to speak out against any attack on the right to choose. They participate in legal cases, educate the public, work with media, and advocate for protection of reproductive healthcare in the community.

They will continue to speak out for Kentucky patients right to make their own personal and private decisions about family planning.
