'Stopping abortion care will not increase the supplies in hospitals and it won’t fix this crisis.' –dr_moayedi
. “So really if we wanted to conserve resources, or preserve or expand health care, that’s what we should be looking for in abortion care — removing restrictions, not making more,” she says. Both she and Dr. Steinauer agree that, based on the evidence they’ve seen, the abortion pill should be available over the counter at pharmacies, similar to Plan B.
But this abundance of medical evidence hasn’t stopped states including Ohio, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Tennessee from making efforts to restrict abortion access under the guise of providing higher-quality care for COVID patients. Molly Duane, attorney for the who is representing the plaintiffs in a Texas lawsuit fighting Paxton’s order to postpone abortions], tellsto go after abortion providers, who could potentially face criminal charges and jail time. Duane says physicians in the state were “left concerned about their own safety and that of their patients,” and were worried that they would be arrested for providing necessary health care to their patients.in Texas, Ohio, and Alabama.
As Dr. Steinaeur and Dr. Moayedi made clear, halting abortions would have no impact on providers’ ability to give COVID patients the best level of care possible. In addition to spreading information that has no basis in evidence and is medically false, Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, emphasized that these orders are also unconstitutional.
Dr. Steinaeur and Dr. Moayedi, who both deliver babies and perform abortions, emphasized how intensely they care about the COVID patients who are being treated by their colleagues. “We’re deeply committed to health and safety. We always make sure people get the care they need,” Dr. Moayedi tells. “As someone who works in hospitals and in clinics I know what’s at stake with supply shortages.
