The pandemic threatened to exacerbate existing barriers that pregnant people face when seeking abortion care, barriers that can already seem insurmountable. The dedication to providing essential care that I have seen displayed by staff who are juggling caregiving responsibilities, financial hardships, constant change in their workplace, and unrelenting threats by those in the anti-abortion movement, has been profound. I am so proud to be a part of the team of healthcare providers ensuring that people are STILL able to choose for themselves when and if they want to be pregnant; the implications on the immediate and future health of individuals and families are immeasurable.”
