Some states – including Texas, Missouri and Utah – have already banned abortions following a ruling by the US Supreme Court. “I believe women will eventually resort to self-abortion,” said Renee Chelian, an abortion provider and founder of Northland Family Planning Centers, which has three abortion facilities in Michigan. “The reason half of our patients choose abortion is to care for children they already have,” Chelian said. “I can not believe that our government has turned its back on us.” Also called self-administered abortion, self-abortion is one that occurs without medical supervision or input. According to the World Health Organization, people who do not have access to abortions can resort to unsafe ways to terminate a pregnancy. CLOCKS Renee Chelian talks about American issues considering Canada for abortion:
This abortion provider says that “half of the United States is well on its way to becoming an abortion desert”
Renee Chelian is an abortion provider in the United States and the founder of the Northland Family Planning Centers. Celian said half the United States is well on its way to becoming a desert for abortions because of last week’s decision. “I do not know how half the United States will take care of the whole country,” he said, stressing the potential impact on Canadian abortion providers. Abortions are currently banned in six states. A handful are still pending abortion bans or are surrounded by uncertainty due to “activation laws”. An activation law refers to a state ban on abortions that had passed before Roe v. Was overthrown. Wade, but could not be implemented at that time. Now, with Roe v. Wade to be removed, these laws can finally be enacted and enforced on a state basis. Some states are considering banning abortions with the exception of rape or incest. Other states, such as Missouri, make exceptions for “emergencies.” “If they can handle American patients and patients can reach them, I am grateful for their compassion, understanding and willingness to help,” Celian said. “But someone from Detroit is not going to go to Vancouver … I do not believe that hospital systems where abortions are performed in Canada will be able to cope with the tide.” Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trindade called the Supreme Court ruling a “horrific” development that threatens women’s rights. I have granddaughters. I fight this fight not just for them… but for all those who love someone else who may need an abortion.- Renee Chilean, founder of Northland Family Planning Centers in the USA. But Danielle Atkinson, co-founder of Mothering Justice, a pro-US political base, said the sentiment was not enough. “We need the prime minister to make more than one statement … We need the prime minister to really make sure that people can go to the country safely and easily.” He said access to abortion services outside the US is not easy for most people. “We could not necessarily go to the hospital [in Canada] and have an abortion. “The nearest town to us, Windsor, has no place – no clinic to access.” Chelian said she was trying to bridge the gap. “I talked to our doctors and we arranged a meeting this morning to work out a short-term and a long-term plan to be able to accommodate patients from Ohio. But we also know Indiana will go. I do not know where patients will go from “Kentucky. We didn’t get a chance to think that.” It brings to some a sense of despair. “I heard a woman on the news say ‘My country does not love me’ and I felt so real,” Celian said, her voice trembling. “I have granddaughters. I’m fighting this fight not just for them … but for anyone who loves someone else who may need an abortion … I hate to think I’m going to die and the United States will not do abortion services in every state. ». Windsor Regional Hospital declined to comment when asked about Chelian’s concerns. On Wednesday, CBC News contacted the Ontario Department of Health to find out what the provincial government is preparing, if nothing else, in light of the Supreme Court ruling last Friday. The ministry responded with a brief statement stating that it had no information to share.
