Abortion providers make reproductive choice possible for American women and often offer critical support and care. Yet the number of doctors and clinicians able to perform abortion procedures or administer abortion medication is declining, making access to an essential health-care service increasingly difficult.
It's interesting to me, and even a little saddening, to hear that abortion is the most common medical procedure of girls aged 15 - 44 and yet medical schools do not discuss abortion care or train students on the procedure. It seems to me that this would be a requirement, right up there with how to deliver a baby or how to remove a gall bladder.
Personally, I applaud all abortion providers and the medical students that have chosen to take this path. I imagine it's a difficult decision to make when you have so little support from your teachers and professional peers.
So, Thank you too all abortion providers for allowing women to have a choice in their own reproductive health and for providing the care that women need Thank you for braving the dangers that come from anti-choice, hypocritical protesters, clinic bombers, and murderers that continue to make your work place unsafe. I appreciate the care that you provide and I know of countless other women who feel the same..
Thank you!
