A doctor colleague sent me this remarkable video. I, a doctor, am still waiting for the medical and psychiatric communities to weigh in.
Where are the doctors in this fight? We are the ones who see the women needing safe abortions. I work with death row inmates. Several of my limited clientele are the end results of their mothers’ botched attempted abortions. By the time I see them, it is impossible to know whether their neurological vulnerabilities resulted from the attempted abortions or from maltreatment by caretakers who didn’t want them from conception onward.
Let us hear from the AMA and the APA. Their members know only too well the damage that will follow the prohibition of safe medical abortions.
Kudos to Amanda Gorman for getting our attention. Now
let’s all speak up!
