As the state moves closer to a decision on abortion access, two local OBGYNs with differing opinions on abortion sat down with WRTV to discuss their thoughts on the debate.
Dr. Christina Francis is part of the organization called The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She and the organization feel that abortion is never the best choice medically for a woman unless her life is in danger.
"Because of these adverse effects that we see on women of elective abortion, and really no health benefits, again, of elective abortion, this informs our position as pro-life physicians,” Dr. Francis said. “As we talk with our patients about what their best options are for their health, both in the immediate to end in the long term, abortion simply is not the best option for our patients.
Dr. Katie McHugh is a pro-abortion rights OBGYN and abortion provider in Indiana. She disagrees with Dr. Francis. She says there are also negative effects on a women's mental health if they have to go through with a pregnancy that they didn't want. “What is important is that we don't force our opinions on other people,” Dr. McHugh said. “So, I would never force someone to choose abortion even if I thought it was medically the safest choice. It is not my business, and it is not my decision.”
Dr. Francis also finds this concerning because most women can’t tell how far long, they are in their pregnancies. She said that can be dangerous because the abortion pill only works up to a certain point in pregnancy. If the abortion pill fails, Dr. Francis says women will have to get a surgical abortion to finish the procedure.
Dr. McHugh says when clinics provide the abortion bill in person, they typically do it if a woman is between 10 and 11 weeks, simply because, after that fact, it does become slightly less effective.
