By insisting that any facility that performs 5 or more first trimester abortions a month be subject to the same structural requirements of hospitals.
17 clinics in one, fucking. day. 17 clinics. All part of the Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (T.R.A.P.) plan, to make abortions so impossible to get that they are de facto illegal for all but the richest Americans.
They were closed for not being up to hospitol standards. Women should at least be safe. I guess some pro-choice people don’t even care as long a baby dies.
Abortion is an outpatient procedure. So requiring a clinic have as many parking spaces as it has beds is not concern for the safety of women, it as attempt to make abortion impossible for a greater number of people, who can not surmount the cost to travel hundreds of miles during a recession with gas prices creeping ever higher and whose only options have just become committing a desperate act or giving birth to a child at the zenith of “austerity” measures meant to starve out the poor, kill the undesirables, and make sure no one is driving around in a second-hand yacht, because HONESTLY? REALLY? They really care more about the robustness of yacht sales and whether rich people are writing fat checks than they do about all of the people they’ve just scalded with their callous politicking.
That is what is important to me. PEOPLE. Not imaginary magic rainbow babies, not personal self-righteousness, PEOPLE. If you’ve organized your life in any other fashion, congratulations, your soul is 99% shit.
