In the months following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, New York City has chosen to act where federal protection retreated, becoming the first city in the world to offer free abortion pills through public health clinics. Beginning in the Bronx and set to expand to three additional neighborhoods, the program asks nothing of those who seek it — no residency, no documentation, no cost. It is a city writing its own answer to a national question, at the intersection of local will, municipal funding, and a shifting federal regulatory landscape.
