Yesterday, in New York City, one person died every four minutes from the coronavirus that has now killed more Americans than the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As of Wednesday, there have been more than 190,000 confirmed cases in the United States, and health officials estimate as many as 200,000 people could perish. A reported 265 million Americans in 30 states have been ordered to shelter-in-place, school is closed for 30 million children, as many as 47 million Americans could lose their jobs, and the apex of infection is nowhere in sight.
And instead of focusing on the personal protection equipment and ventilation shortages devastating our nation’s health care workers, or expanding states’ COVID-19 testing abilities, some in the “pro-life” party of “family values” are using the crisis to limit access to abortion. Because what better time is there to force pregnant people to give birth than during an unprecedented public health emergency.
GOP governors and attorneys general in Texas, Ohio, Mississippi, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Alabama are all calling for abortion services to be stopped — erroneously labeling the time-sensitive procedure as medically unnecessary. And yet, studies have shown that people who are denied access to abortion care are more likely to face financial hardship, more likely to endure pregnancy complications and more likely to experience depression and other mental health issues. And that’s before getting into the even more acute consequences of abortion in cases of rape or incest.

Oh shut up!!
Men are at double the risk of dying from this Chinese virus so women must put their plans for murder on hold until the pandemic has eased.
Oppress? Wha?! LMAO!
Other than life threatening situations, what makes abortion an essential when nearly everything else is being deemed non-essential?
I have friends in parts of NZ and Australia that canNOT fish cause its not deemed essential, but yeah, abortion is essential?!
Libtards are utter frakin’ idiots!!
Except that 700,00 people die from Heart disease in the US ever year, and we don't put tens of millions out if work and ruin the lives of millions because of that.
Not to mention, if most coronavirus deaths are over 70 with other diseases, how the heck would you even know it's coronavirus in particular the killed them and not old age?
Danielle you ignorant slut.
The race of the child can make the abortion essential, according to the eugenicists at Planned Barrenhood.
Fake noes anyone?
The rabid media have been given their talking points by the Democratic Party.
Earth to fake news NBC, more people are killed every single day by heart disease than died in 9/11. Why doesn't NBC write about that?
This reads like a Titania McGrath tweet.
For the Democrat, the mutilation and murder of babies is paramount.
It’s their Sacrament.
Please stop this shit. Good grief. What a steaming pile.
Our media is now beyond being beyond.
They do nothing but use this crisis for their purposes.
There are many options available to women today regarding birth control.
When they REFUSE to use those options, they re choosing murder-—and American Taxpayers are paying for it.
Both parts of that sentence are obscene.
It’s all about the Abortion
Don’t Be a Mommy for Commies
Blood on the Womb
It’s Alive for Now
