10 Doctors Tell Us What They Think Of The New Abortion Law In Alabama
attended the March For Reproductive Freedom in Birmingham, Alabama, on May 19, 2019, and spoke with doctors and medical students about their view on the new restrictions. Here are their thoughts.“I’m here for one reason: advocating for my patients and just making sure that they have the rights to get a safe abortion in the future. Nobody should have that right taken away from them.”“I was born in Alabama, I grew up here.
"I have trained most of my adult life to learn how to take care of women at every stage of their life, whether that’s when they are 12 and getting their first period, if they’re 35 and having a hard time getting pregnant, if they are in their 20s and having a baby for the first time, or they’re in their 60s and they’re being diagnosed with cancer — it’s an absolute honor to get to take care of women during every single part of their reproductive life.
"Abortion is just as much a part of that as any of those other absolutely incredible milestones and parts of their life.
"I continued my passion in women’s healthcare and as an oncologist. The fact that I could potentially have a woman with cervical cancer or some other type of cancer in their first trimester and not have the option to cure them because of a law — and if I did I would go to jail for 99 years — is extremely upsetting. So I’m here to represent women, my patients, my colleagues.”“I’m here today as a women’s healthcare provider.
"I wanted to say that abortion is healthcare, obstetrics is healthcare, and contraception and family planning is healthcare.”“I’m here today because abortion is part of healthcare, and no one — no matter their gender, race or socioeconomic status — should have the power to dictate another individual’s access to healthcare.
