Planned Parenthood, along with other pro-abortion organizations, sued government officials in four states on Monday after abortion in those states was deemed a “non-essential” procedure during the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, the abortion corporation also sued the state of Texas for its temporary suspension of elective abortions.
Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas each issued orders that either call for — or appear to call for — abortion to be included in non-essential medical procedures that must be postponed during the COVID-19 crisis. As emergency medical teams and hospitals face a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff members trying to save the lives of patients who have coronavirus, abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood insist on remaining open and have even asked for donations of PPE for themselves as they work to end the lives of preborn human beings.
According to The Hill, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds issued an order that called for all non-essential medical procedures to be suspended until April 16. She confirmed to the Des Moines Register that this includes abortion. Additionally, Alabama suspended non-essential surgeries but did not clarify if it includes abortion. In Ohio, Attorney General Dave Yost told abortion businesses directly to stop committing “non-essential elective surgical abortions.” And in Oklahoma, Gov. Kevin Stitt also said that the postponement of elective surgeries during the COVID-19 crisis includes abortions. In Texas, violating the state’s non-essential surgery order is punishable by up to $1,000 or 180 days in jail, according to CBS. The Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood are suing Oklahoma and Texas, while the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood are suing Iowa, Ohio, and Alabama, stating that they aim to “ensure access to abortion during the coronavirus pandemic.” A federal judge has granted Planned Parenthood and the Center of Reproductive Rights a temporary restraining order against Texas’ order.
“A global pandemic is not an excuse to attack essential, time-sensitive medical procedures like abortion,” said acting Planned Parenthood president and CEO Alex McGill Johnson. However, ending human lives through abortion is always an elective procedure and is never medically necessary. By continuing to commit abortions, Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses are risking the health and well-being of their patients and using equipment that is desperately needed by doctors who are risking their lives to save others. Any woman who experiences complications from an abortion and must visit an emergency room will be putting more stress on medical professionals already struggling to keep up with emergency patients. It will also place women at risk for contracting COVID-19.
“It is unconscionable that abortion providers are fighting against the health of Texans and withholding desperately needed supplies and personal protective equipment in favor of a procedure that they refer to as a ‘choice,’ said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Texas Right to Life said it “is not surprised” that abortion businesses are suing, stating that the “abortion industry has never seen a safety regulation or common-sense health policy they did not believe they should be exempt from […]. Shamefully, they have continued this pattern even during a global pandemic and public health crisis.”

“We want to murder children! It’s our RIGHT!!”
And spare the mass murderer!
They claim it is even more essential to perform abortions during this time of troubles. Perhaps they should send send bully boys out to identify and drag in pregnant women to abort them.
How is abortion “essential?” Murder is essential? Using medical supplies unnecessarily is essential?
Next thing you know the abortionists will want Gosnell released because he might get the virus in jail.
This not good. Those who want to take lives without due process have no standing under natural law.
The day that “Roe v Wade” is overturned will be a day of rejoicing.
Today, we are anguishing over projected deaths from Covid-19.
The number of one to two million deaths due to this flu are frightening but, the abortions tally is 61,628,584, according to online statistics since 1973.
Our Nation is fretting over the need for ventilators, masks and hospital beds to save lives. OMG!
Even in quarantine, with a limited social life, my wife and I remark at the blessing of life we have had to date.
We cry for those who have not been able to even soil their diapers before being killed in the name of a woman’s right to kill.
These pathetic malignancies are determined to murder children so they can continue making big bucks chopping then up and selling their bloody body parts . S.ICK
Exactly my thoughts too. Not that different from the Chicoms killing prisoners in order to sell organs for transplant. Actually the Chinese prefer that the recipient come to China, then they dope them up and transplant a live organ from a drugged up prisoner. Those transplants have the highest success rates. Look for Planned Parenthood to explore this as an option if they haven’t already. Logistically difficult.
If you think it's rough now, wait 'til you get Molech angry at you.
The bad news for PP is that it is being reported that the virus is causing sterility in men who survive it. That means less babeies for these ghouls to kill. That is going to hit them right where it hurts, in the bank account.
It is time to declare enough is enough and shut all of these bastards down once and for all. We don’t need them and they need to be made extinct.
