Katie Riley is a certified nurse practitioner and midwife who works for Planned Parenthood in Maine and New Hampshire. While medically qualified to perform abortions in New Hampshire, she is not in Maine, one of 42 states that have laws restricting clinicians like Riley from providing such services.
“I had the resources, but I can’t imagine being young and scared and having to go through that," Hollander said."I had to jump through all these hoops to go through with it. And when you don't want to be pregnant and you are, it’s just a really hard emotional experience.” Over the last two years, 11 lawsuits have been filed against physician-only laws, in states like Arizona, Maine and Montana, arguing that nurse practitioners, midwives and physician assistants are as qualified as physicians to perform abortions.
No abortion
Just put your self in that child's shoe,then next time you will have protected sex or just get rid of your uterus
This isn't a 'safe health service.'
This perpetual LIE by left wing media & liberals that abortions are somehow health services is perverse! Less than 1% of all abortions are done due to a risk to the mother's health. Most abortions are nothing more than regretful, unprotected sex resulting in a baby. Use a condom!
Kinda the opposite of midwifing, ain't it?
prochoice
Safe for whom? The only one you'll acknowledge?
