It acknowledges the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and its disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. The resolution highlights San Francisco's historical leadership in protecting reproductive freedom and advancing reproductive justice, referencing existing state laws (California Penal Code Sections 423.2–423.3 and 13778.3) and local ordinances (Police Code, Article 43) that protect access to reproductive healthcare. It also references voter-approved Proposition O from November 2024, which declared San Francisco a safe place for reproductive care and protected related data privacy. The resolution commits the City to:

• Enforcing state and local laws protecting reproductive healthcare access through coordinated efforts.
• Ensuring City resources are not used to assist out-of-state investigations targeting lawful reproductive healthcare.
• Safeguarding patient and provider medical data privacy by limiting collection, retention, and disclosure.
• Advancing policies and investments that uphold reproductive justice, gender equity, and public health.

This resolution affirms San Francisco's commitment to protecting reproductive freedom and access to healthcare services, reinforcing existing local and state protections.
