FULL TITLE: Abortion Clinic Staffer: After Trump Victory, Women are Getting AbortionsAs Soon as They Can,Just in Case
Zadara Garcia is not sure how much longer she will have a job.
The 24-year-old works at a Texas abortion facility. Cosmopolitan recently talked with her about the atmosphere at her job since Republican Donald Trump won the presidential election last week.
Garcia, not her real name, said she is a patient assistant at the abortion clinic, and she always is busy. But her work has become even more hectic since the election.
On the day after the election, I was going to call in sick but when I got there, I was happy I came in because I didnt have to think about it. I was busy at the center, its always busy, she said.
She told the magazine:
we usually have quite a few missed appointments, or people call to reschedule, just to have more time to think. But since the election, barely anyone has rescheduled or missed an appointment. In the clinic, weve been saying that we guess everyone got nervous, and doesnt want to miss it. Everyone is just trying to get in and be seen as soon as they can, just in case.
Personally, Im scared. The only negative emotion I have right now is that I wonder if Ill have a secured job next year. I havent thought about what I would do, if not this, because its nerve-wracking. But Im proud to be part of something thats so controversial. I feel like Im part of something thats going to go down in history. Our organization is on the front lines. At our events, were always talking about the Supreme Court, and how the government is always trying to meddle in our uteruses, as Texas women. But were fighting against that. Were standing up, standing proud, and walking into work, even when protesters are there.
Garcia also noted that pro-life protesters have not been outside her abortion clinic since the election. She said the situation is weird because pro-lifers typically showed up every single day in the past.
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.
They were there Monday and Tuesday before the election, in the morning. But not one protester has been here ever since the news broke about the election, she said. So thats been good in a way we havent gotten bothered or anything.
Trumps election has produced a lot of speculation about the future of abortion laws in the U.S. Trump, a recent convert to the pro-life cause, made a number of promises that could help protect many unborn babies from abortion in the future.
Trump said he will appoint pro-life justices to the U.S. Supreme Court and sign a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, the nations largest abortion provider, as long as it keeps doing abortions. The president-elect said he also would support a measure to make permanent the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion in Medicaid.
If you are meaning women are pressured into having abortion, or even if you mean that women may not be able to afford having the child and raising it, in either case and in any case women do have the choice to see their pregnancy through or not.
Plenty of options for not being able to afford pregnancy care and raising a child.
In the case of women pressured to get an abortion, I think if the woman stood firm about not killing the child, God would show up some how in the situation.
I actually know a woman who’s mom tried to abort her twice. The woman lived and is now a grandma.
God can do anything! :)
I’ve been saying stop the world I want to get off for 8 years-now for the first time in those 8 years, I’m actually optimistic...
“We may not be able to murder our own babies when Trump is in office.”
We have a “right” to murder our own babies, they say.
Talk about playing God.
Trump will take our “right” to play God away.
I was wondering the same. If they're not pregnant what are they going to do? Get naked and run in to a bar of sailors and yell "Fire all guns swabbies?"
same here. I did not even realize a few parts of my mind/life were stuck until the last week or so, I feel this new lightness and new sparks of ideas etc.
Yes, this is silly.
If you are a follower of Jesus, remember you are going against the whole spiritual order of this planet we live on. It’s ok not “belong” here. The prophets and apostles lived the same sort of crazy messed up world as we do. The whole society they lived in was unbelievers that they were trying to help and a bit later even had to help numerous backslidden believers.
I heard this from a pastor’s sermon and it gets me through moments where I wonder similar to your comment.
Because of the financial crash, I had to forgo thinking very far ahead, worrying about money every minute-but now I may really be able to make plans again for work and personal-it is like waking up...
Mz. “Garcia” is a liar.
They are creating a panic in order to sell more abortions. It may or may not be working. Hard to say as I’m not in that area.
I am calling BS on this story.
That’s not how pregnancy progresses......
You simply can’t stop women from aborting future Democrats.
Docyot: “I can’t give you an abortion. You’re not pregnant!.”
Patient: “But it’s my constitutional right!”
Yes I am but it’s becoming almost intolerable, of late.
Indeed, if a woman stands up, God would intervenes and all the pimps would have to pay or castrate themselves to oblivion.
