Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson writes that protecting women's access to healthcare — including abortion — is as important as ever
. The same women trying to survive this pandemic — the women struggling to make ends meet or to get through self-isolation with an abusive partner — should not be forced to have a child against their will. They should have ready access to birth control, STI testing and treatment, and abortion. And it’s unacceptable that in a $2 trillion aid bill, their needs are still not met.
To pretend Planned Parenthood is not essential is to put our 2.4 million patients at risk. It is never okay to play politics with people’s health. During a global health crisis, it is morally indefensible.
