Clinic staff described packed waiting rooms, full parking lots and phones ringing nonstop in the final days before the state’s new law takes effect.
Abortion clinics in Florida say they have been trying to see as many patients as possible before the state’s ban on abortions after six weeks takes effect Wednesday.
In Jacksonville, a clinic called A Woman’s Choice provided around double its usual volume of abortions Monday, according to Amber Gavin, its vice president of advocacy and operations.
The waiting room has been so crowded that patients’ companions were asked to stay in their cars or drop people off to free up space, Gavin said. Parking spaces were also scarce, prompting some patients to park off-site and walk to the clinic.
“Tomorrow is going to look very different,” Kelly Flynn, CEO of A Woman’s Choice, said Tuesday. “A lot of patients will come in for the consult and be told that we can’t see them.”
At least it should be paternity renounce legal also. Not all men want to be a father…
So… you’re saying because it will be illegal for women to get abortions until after most of them know they’re pregnant, it should be legal for a man to renounce their paternity?
Whatever if it’s abortion legal or illegal, paternity renounce should be legal, men should be fighting for their rights also…
What do you mean “too?” You’re saying men deserve rights and women don’t.
Women deserve rights and men also, if women are fighting for legal abortion men should be fighting for legal renounce of paternity.
Termination of Parental Rights is a legal process that is available in some states. Some being the key term.
How about we work on stopping the thing that kills people first and then work on the money issue?
You do know women die in childbirth every day, right?
Then women should get their tubes tied if they don’t want to die of childbirth. I don’t know if it’s legal but it should be.
Sorry… “if you don’t want to get pregnant right now you should sterilize yourself?” What the fuck?
I got a vasectomy. They’re quick and easy to perform, covered mostly by insurance (at least in my case), and they’re reversible (unlike tubular ligation).
I believe it’s too late to tell you to not be a simp…
If the woman is forced to be a mother, then by all means the man is forced to be a father to or pay child support. Men don’t get to fucking ban abortions, and then decide to opt out of caring for that child. Should me get that right? Sure. But women should have the right to an abortion as well. If we’re going to barbaric, might as well be barbaric all around. Hell, make it easier to garnish peoples wages of they neglect paying child support.
I believe you are right if women are forced to be mothers then men should be forced to be fathers but as women are fighting for legal abortion I think it will be fair if there is legal renounce option for men…
