Clinic staff described packed waiting rooms, full parking lots and phones ringing nonstop in the final days before the state’s new law takes effect.
Abortion clinics in Florida say they have been trying to see as many patients as possible before the state’s ban on abortions after six weeks takes effect Wednesday.
In Jacksonville, a clinic called A Woman’s Choice provided around double its usual volume of abortions Monday, according to Amber Gavin, its vice president of advocacy and operations.
The waiting room has been so crowded that patients’ companions were asked to stay in their cars or drop people off to free up space, Gavin said. Parking spaces were also scarce, prompting some patients to park off-site and walk to the clinic.
“Tomorrow is going to look very different,” Kelly Flynn, CEO of A Woman’s Choice, said Tuesday. “A lot of patients will come in for the consult and be told that we can’t see them.”
Cruelty is the point. Republicans prove it over and over.
I agree about Republicans, but is the person I replied to a Republican, or did they try to make a good point and really, really screw up?
Not sure their point was a good one. They are fine with abortion being legal but want a guy to be able to not have to pay child support if a woman does not get an abortion. I could see that argument in the case where a condom broke but I think they are advocating for it in all cases.
Instead, free vasectomies should be offered for those who want one. You don’t want to be a father, get a vasectomy.
Yeah, they clarified. They’re some incel.
