And we see people like Hadley who had they been denied access to care, it would have fundamentally and negatively shifted the course of their life.
I also know that we have to do everything we can at every layer of our government to protect this access to care.
When I hear about federal strategies, I'm excited to have an entire
Congress and Senate and executive office that is pro reproductive health care.
But the reality are these solutions are not trickling down to places in the Midwest.
We need state based protections in order to ensure that citizens in our own states have access to care.
We're already there and we've been there.
So we have women in Florida like Deborah Dobert, who was forced to give birth to a child who died within her arms 94 minutes after being born.
Doctors knew that that child would not survive outside of the womb.
But because of Florida's abortion ban, she was forced to give birth, knowing full well that that would be her experience.
We've seen women like Anya Cook.
who lost half of the blood in her body before she was able to obtain medical care because physicians were too afraid to treat her because of Florida's abortion ban, we are already in this place.
And if we continue to have these abortion bans on the book, especially in states as large as Florida, we're the third largest state in the nation, we're only going to see an increase in devastation as these bans go on and on and as the cumulative health impacts continue to grow.
Providers are leaving the state of Florida right now.
They don't want to practice medicine in a state where they're not able to give their patients access to quality healthcare.
We are seeing patients be turned away from miscarriage management, and we're going to continue to see patient health centers close over the course of the upcoming years if we don't end this extreme band.
I think that this is an incredibly tough issue for Republicans.
They know that there is a large portion of their base that doesn't support bans on abortion.
I believe that there are a large number of Republicans who support access to reproductive health care.
And I think it's creating a space where politicians don't know how to rectify that reality.
