[quote=Anonymous]I understand and feel for the women who feel utterly betrayed by this SCOTUS ruling.  But moving to what we can do to protect the most vulnerable.  I think that pro women's rights groups need to start to organize medical drives.  Because the two drugs that are used for medical abortions are controlled by the FDA and not the states, states cannot ban the drugs. They are enacting several regulations regarding how these drugs are prescribed in order  to control them.  Indiana says that they cannot be prescribed after 10 weeks and Texas has ruled that they cannot be prescribed after 7 weeks.  Many states have barred prescribing these drugs via telemedicine appointments, requiring that the prescribing doctor see the patient in-person.  Many states have restricted it so that NPs and PAs cannot prescribe them and that only an MD can prescribe them.

The ones most affected are poor women who cannot travel and who cannot take off from work to get medical appointments.  So, organizations need to get mobile clinics with MDs to go and schedule appointments and then advertise that they will be in certain neighborhoods and that patients who need to see the doctor can come out to the medical van or bus during their lunch or coffee breaks, see the doctor and get the prescriptions written for them.

I'd most definitely donate to an organization that could make such a service available and I bet many others would as well.  If the government was able to organize such mobile clinics for the Pfizer vaccine and visit the neighborhoods and areas where the most number of people could not get out to get vaccines and turn those numbers around, then pro reproductive rights groups should be able to mobilize similar types of efforts to protect the most vulnerable women.  It may not be comprehensive, but it's a start until appropriate legislation can be made.
