To be clear: Abortion is NOT an elective medical procedure. It's essential healthcare and must be available during the pandemic. It can't be delayed. Patients can't wait until an undetermined later date to get an abortion. We need to make access available throughout the pandemic.

In my medical opinion, it’s normal—important even—for women to have a WAP. Vaginal lubrication is common & orgasm experience depends on the individual. We should not shame women who have WAP. If you have questions about your WAP please call a gynecologist, not a radio show host.

There are many reasons why patients need abortions after 20 weeks. Some due to the fetus having a lethal anomaly, some for the patient's own health, and others because financial and logistical barriers make accessing an abortion earlier very difficult.

THERE IS NO MEDICAL JUSTIFICATION TO BAN ABORTION AT 15 WEEKS. EXACTLY ZERO. 15 WEEKS IS ARBITRARY. THERE IS NO SCIENCE OR EVIDENCE TO IT.

One more thing –– are you aware that many of the restrictions on abortion that you support are creating barriers to access, thus forcing patients to seek abortions in the second and third trimesters?

. @SenateMajLdr , you noted that “fetal pain” is your main reason for banning abortion at 20 weeks, and I’d like to take the opportunity to share some evidence-based medical information on this with you, as well.

Ohio’s governor has signed the 6 week abortion ban, which prohibits the procedure before most people know they’re pregnant. This bill tries to undermine Roe and lacks the basic understanding of medical science, menstrual cycles, and barriers to healthcare.

I know that some of your Senate colleagues are confused about why providers use anesthesia if the fetus can't feel pain. The anesthesia relaxes a patient’s uterus, preventing premature contractions, immobilizing the fetus to ensure the surgery goes easier.

There’s no such thing as a “nonabortive contraception” because there’s no such thing as “abortive contraception.” Contraception is to prevent pregnancy. Abortion is to end an established pregnancy. @PostOpinions , I’d be happy to fact-check Williamson’s piece for you.

These restrictions make access difficult, forcing patients to travel to a clinic, experience delays while saving money to afford an abortion especially if insurance won't cover it, take unpaid time off of work, and make multiple appointments. Healthcare should be accessible.

Williamson and anti-abortion extremists cannot have it both ways: You cannot call for the murder of people seeking & providing abortions, then act surprised when we’re attacked. You cannot shutdown clinics and access to contraception, then be upset patients need later abortions.

Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness, and the abortion pill does not cure or prevent any disease. Make no mistake, Mifeprex is a dangerous pill. That’s why 20 of my Republican colleagues and I are urging @US_FDA to classify it as such.

FACT CHECK: The only "abortion inducing drugs" are medication abortion pills, mifepristone and misoprostol. They expel a pregnancy from the uterus. Emergency contraceptive pills like Plan B do not cause an abortion. They primarily act by preventing or delaying ovulation.
