Abortion Providers And Patients Prepare For A Post-Roe World
Huff PostImmediately after a leaked draft on Monday evening revealed that the Supreme Court was set to dismantle abortion rights, Robin Marty began fielding calls from her abortion clinic staff wondering if they would still open their doors the next day. “That’s something that we’ve been dealing with at the clinic all day.” Marty, along with other clinic staff and abortion providers around the country, felt the immediate shockwave of the bombshell news. “It’s been six months since I had my abortion and I’m still financially recovering from travel expenses and processing that traumatic time in my life,” she said. Marty’s main goal is to ensure that every patient knows abortion is still legal right now and her clinic will continue providing care to those who want it. “On decision days, we will always let patients know before their appointment that there is the possibility that their right to a legal abortion could disappear while they’re filling out paperwork or when they’re waiting on the exam table,” Marty said.
