THREAD: “The desperation, fear and anger we heard from [our patients] was visceral." - Dr. Amna Dermish, Regional Medical Director for @PPGreaterTX https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/04/04/texas-abortion-ban-coronavirus/

"Those are conversations Gov. Abbott will never have to have with the people of his state; that is our burden to carry as health-care providers.”

“My last patient of the day was someone referred to us for a lethal fetal diagnosis. I had to tell her that, even so, her case didn’t meet the state’s criteria, because her pregnancy didn’t sufficiently threaten her life or health.”

“Every other health-care provider, in every other field and specialty, has the discretion to decide whether their procedures are permitted under the executive order. Only abortion has been explicitly, categorically, declared unnecessary.”

Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are exploiting a pandemic to attack abortion in Texas and patients and medical providers are suffering.
