The following statement was issued by Whole Woman’s Health Alliance:
“Today, we applaud Mayor Pete Buttigieg for standing up for what is right and putting women and families of South Bend first. This veto shows that he is listening to the community and ensuring access to quality healthcare is available.
Whole Woman’s Health of South Bend is committed to providing comprehensive reproductive healthcare services with expert medical staff and physicians. We have enjoyed participating in open and honest conversations with key community leaders, community members and local allies and we look forward to continuing to build those lasting relationships as we continue the process of providing care to those that need it.
