As state legislatures across the U.S. debate bills restricting access to abortions, people like Dr Meera Shah are on the ground providing reproductive healthcare which she describes as a “basic human right.”
Shah is resolute she wouldn’t be in any other field, and while she respects protesters outside her clinic are entitled to exercise their first amendment rights, she says doesn’t engage with them. “[I’m] just trying to do my job,” the family medicine physician and advocate for women’s medical rights based in New York tells Newsweek.
Attempting to demystify the procedure, Shah explains abortions in early pregnancy involve taking pills, while later terminations see medics opening the cervix and emptying the uterus. Both approaches take just a few minutes, rarely cause complications, and are “completely safe,” she says.“The words that I hear are 'post-birth abortion' or 'late-term abortion' and there are not real medical terms, these were all just made up,” she warns.
For who? Certainly not the fetus.

And it's NON-NEGOTIABLE. Gametes, zygotes and fetuses aren't children. Stop it reich-wingers. No to AlternativeFacts
Safe for whom
