“This pain and loss are felt not only by the providers and residents in these states, but also shared by the providers in states where abortion access is maintained. They feel responsible for providing abortion care for the entire country.”
Kwajelyn J. Jackson, executive director of the Feminist Women’s Health Center in Atlanta; a six-week abortion ban has gone into effect in Georgia. in late June, providers of abortion care have been dealing with emotional devastation, managing severe staff burnout, the possibility of facing criminal charges, and increased harassment from protestors.
Providers in states where abortion access has become severely limited or been banned are dealing with “a lot of grief,” said Angelica Perez, technical assistance manager at the Abortion Care Network, the national association for independent community-based abortion care providers and their allies. “The vibrant communities they’ve built over decades of providing abortion care are gone — and not without a real fight to stay in their communities either.
When states enact restrictions and abortion bans, it forces providers into an untenable position. “Turning patients away for basic health care is really tough,” said Dr. Meera Shah, co-medical director of the Whole Woman’s Health clinic in South Bend, Indiana.
