Not satisfied staying at home and binging The Sopranos, anti-abortion protestors have actually upped their harassment during #COVID19: shoving, getting into people’s faces, and generally ignoring everyone’s safety! https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/889nnp/abortion-clinic-protests-are-still-happening-in-the-pandemic-they-accost-patients-face-to-face
Their defiance of social distancing has turned a gauntlet of intimidation and harassment (always fun) into a spittle-flecked death tunnel for patients and staff. Look ma, no mask!
We don’t yet know the full effects of the novel coronavirus on pregnant people (hello, it’s NOVEL), but these self-proclaimed ‘essential protesters’ are clearly trying to find out. Imagine how many people one super-spreader outside a clinic could infect!
Since we know you protesters don’t really care about pregnant people, you just love yelling, at least consider that we do have some evidence of COVID’s possible effect on that fetus you claim to worship. And it’s NOT good. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/01/second-trimester-miscarriage-attributed-to-a-coronavirus-infection-of-placenta.html
And not that you care about the post-born, but the 1918 pandemic had lifelong effects on people exposed in utero. Just some things to consider because your hypocrisy is showing now more than ever and—like your maskless mouths—it’s not a good look on you. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/SwineFlu/1918-flu-left-heart-disease-legacy/story?id=8722310
Because they feel no shame, we can’t do much to make these Typhoid Saint Marys behave. But we’re trying to mitigate the chaos by making sure providers have the masks and supplies they need for themselves and their patients. You can learn more here: https://www.aafront.org/join-us/
