High-Risk Patients Need Abortion Coverage!
July 20, 2010
By prohibiting abortion coverage, the Obama administration's policy on high-risk insurance pools will hurt women. Email the White House today! Tell President Obama to help women stay healthy.
PRCH board chair Douglas Laube, MD, MEd, explains the danger: "Many women entering the high risk pools have underlying medical problems, like cancer and diabetes, that make pregnancy risky. They must have abortion available as a backup if their birth control fails, or if a planned pregnancy unexpectedly threatens their health, as happened to me when a kidney transplant patient experienced dangerously high blood pressure in her third month of pregnancy." Read more from his statement against the ban.
NPR's Julie Rovner quotes from Dr. Laube's statement.
