In response to the news that overly-restrictive abortion regulations will likely lead to the end of abortion services at Missouri’s only abortion clinic this week,
Jodi Magee, President and CEO of Physicians for Reproductive Health issued the following statement:
“It is outrageous that in order for people to get health care that honors their dignity and autonomy, physicians who provide abortion care must put their lives and livelihood on the line every day. The hostility and harassment physicians face from protestors at clinics to politicians at state houses is unacceptable, and it has only gotten worse in the past few years. Abortion is health care – no one should be intimidated out of providing it or receiving it. Politicians must stop putting targets on physicians’ backs and let them care for patients without political interference.”
“Abortion is health care – no one should be intimidated out of providing it or receiving it.”
