I encourage your readers to read Patricia's story: https://medium.com/brain-labs/why-abortion-rights-must-matter-to-those-who-dont-have-abortions-321138bbdc47

"People opposed to elective abortions must understand the threat to their mothers, sisters, and other women they care about. This examination will not focus on the morality of elective abortions. Instead, the terminology and medical treatment surrounding the diagnostics and treatment of female reproductive care will be explained.

No matter where you stand on the right to choose to end a pregnancy, the right to preserve a woman’s life depends on access to reproductive care without the threat of violence or intimidation of healthcare providers."

Upon reading Patricia's story, I wrote this poem https://medium.com/p/30c2abba2008:

"healthcare

Hippocrates

without hypocrisy

ethics and empathy without

judgment

I see oath thusly

advise so she may consent

her body, her choice

you swore oath do no harm

save life in front of your eyes

understand lines blurred

when fetus shares her life’s blood

repeat, her life’s blood

who the fuck are you to judge

when religions don’t agree

save the mother’s life

just as advised on airplanes

put their masks on first

maybe maybe child survives

but mother you must preserve"
