[LI] While everyone has placed coronavirus as a top priority, the National Abortion Federation (NAF) continues on its mission to keep abortion at the forefront.I’m already ill at the fact that NAF is using the pandemic to bring attention to abortion.
NAF sent out an email about how it is pressuring the medical community to not forget those who need abortions (emphasis mine):
As states and municipalities enact measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, more non-essential businesses will be instructed‐or required‐to close. At the same time, hospitals are preparing for a surge in COVID-19 cases and increased strain on their staff, resources, and systems, and will likely begin indefinitely postponing non-essential or elective procedures. During this public health crisis, pregnancy care, including abortion care, remains an essential health service. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) calls on leaders to ensure that outpatient abortion clinics can remain open and urges hospitals to continue to provide abortion care.Are you kidding me? NAF admits the strain coronavirus will cause on the medical community but wants them to keep care going for abortions.
