In places where abortion is restricted, it can cause significant delays in accessing medical care.“Abortion is a time-sensitive procedure, and as the pregnancy progresses, it can become increasingly difficult to find a clinic that will provide care,” she says.
“This was a resourced individual, and while this was difficult for her, it wasn’t impossible,” says Perritt. “The pro-life movement loves both babies and moms,” says Sarah Zagorski, a spokeswoman for Louisiana Right to Life. “It is a tragedy that Louisiana has high mortality rates among pregnant women. However, legal abortion does not improve these rates.”
