CIR envisions a health system where every individual—regardless of background, identity, or circumstance—can make informed, autonomous decisions about their reproductive lives. This includes the ability to prevent or pursue pregnancy and to parent in safe, supportive environments. As future physicians, we are committed to fostering equity, respect, and dignity in all reproductive health experiences

• Make their own choices about if or when to become pregnant,
• Conceive and give birth with access to compassionate and respectful care, and
• Raise children in environments that are safe, healthy, and supportive.

As medical professionals, we recognize that reproductive justice is inseparable from broader social determinants of health. We advocate for clinical and policy practices that address systemic barriers—such as racism, economic inequality, and gender-based discrimination—and ensure equitable access to the resources patients need to thrive.

Many CIR members have fought for and won resident-controlled grant funds they can apply to and purchase equipment, carry out research or quality improvement projects, or implement community based initiatives to support both patients and residents across the reproductive spectrum.
