General Discussion

Any medical group that has ever provided abortion services will be fair game. In many red states like Texas, these medical organizations are the only groups providing medical care for poor people who are either using Medicaid or have no health insurance at all. In some rural areas, women’s healthcare groups are the only medical facilities within hundreds of miles.

The intended outcome will be for poor women to lack access to pregnancy screening and prenatal vitamins, cancer screenings, diabetes checkups, heart disease, and other diseases that will be left untreated and cause more early deaths. A la Joni Ernst, the new Republican motto is “We’re all going yo die. We’re just helping you do it sooner.”
