“I feel very strongly that it’s not all about protecting myself. ... What’s more important is protecting my patients and allowing them the autonomy to make this decision for themselves. They should have a choice whether or not to risk their life to carry a pregnancy.”
I joined @AliciaOnMSNBC explaining it’s not just a 6-week abortion ban in Iowa. Gov Reynolds & IA Republicans already restricted birth control & stopped a bill to expand health care coverage for new moms to 12 months, as available in 40+ states. https://t.co/wG1fGKHdyn via @msnbc
Opinion: When pregnancy complications arise, Iowa's law will inarguably compromise some women's care, write Dr. Andrea Greiner and other physicians. https://t.co/lDXHLVBJQo
"My real fear is that women will take matters into their own hands and we will return to a medical situation similar to that before Roe, when women became very ill from abortions that were attempted in an unsafe manner." @miltynboevers on Iowa's abortion ban #KatiePhangShow

It's been a tough week for Iowa's reproductive freedom advocates. But whether or not courts allow the state to enforce a new abortion ban, there are things you can do right now to help preserve abortion rights: https://t.co/515wjjD2Oq

Felicia Hilton, Des Moines, Iowa resident, on Iowa legislature passing six-week abortion ban: "You guys are showing through your actions that you don't believe the red letter text as my grandma would say." #TheReidOut
Thank you @thereidout for the opportunity to discuss the patient impact of the Iowa GOP Abortion ban. As an Ob-Gyn I know that the women of Iowa deserve better.
@Iowans4HealthL
If I wanted to make a changemaker in womens health, I guess I should have been a State Senator and not an Ob-Gyn physician. Whoops. 🤷🏼♀️

The Iowa Legislature will begin a special session tomorrow at 8:30 AM for the sole purpose of passing an extremist & restrictive abortion ban- despite the majority of Iowans supporting reproductive freedom.
Join us in demanding state legislators reject any abortion bans!
“When we put restrictions on the physician-patient relationship or we put restrictions on how I can practice evidence-based medicine, I think that could delay in care ... that delay in care could end up in loss of life," said Dr. Francesca Turner.

As the Iowa Supreme Court reaffirms Iowans' right to make healthcare decisions about their own bodies, we must recognize that the battle to protect our autonomy and health liberties is far from over.
Today, we announce the launch of Iowans for Health Liberty, (1/2).
