00:00Stand up like that!
00:02Stand up like that!
00:05Stand up like that!
00:06Stand up like that!
00:08The reality is 88% of women
00:10live in a county with no abortion provider.
00:12That
00:14distribution access is probably even more
00:16limited in the South.
00:19Hi, how are you? I'm well.
00:22You have any questions for me?
00:23Since I don't want the child,
00:25do you think there's less chance of me
00:27feeling emotional about it?
00:29All of our scientific information
00:31tells us that the most common
00:33feeling that women experience after abortion
00:35is relief. If you have a baby that
00:37you didn't want, you could regret it.
00:39If you have an abortion you didn't want, you could
00:41regret it. So, regret
00:43is not a function of which one you choose.
00:45Regret is a function of not being sure about your
00:47decision. And so, if you want to have a baby,
00:49we'll steer you towards prenatal care. If you want to have
00:51a safe abortion, we'll do that here.
00:53If you want to continue the
00:55pregnancy, give birth, and then consider adoption,
00:58we'll arrange those resources.
01:00All we want to do is protect
01:01your right to make your decision.
01:04And that's all that matters.
01:06The fact that I live literally
01:08two blocks from a Planned Parenthood
01:09and I had to drive an hour
01:11to have this process
01:13speaks volumes.
01:19My name is Dr. Willie J. Parker
01:21and I'm trained as an obstetrician
01:22gynecologist. And I
01:24primarily provide abortion care in the South.
01:27I do my work
01:29because as we make laws
01:30more restrictive and
01:32limit women's access
01:35to safe, legal, confidential,
01:37respectful abortion care, it
01:38stands to reason that women will
01:40pursue desperate measures.
01:42After you get dressed, just have a seat
01:45back out in the waiting room
01:46and then get around to counseling for your 48 hours.
01:49Okay, thank you.
01:50And you will be able to come back
01:53at 11.50 Saturday.
01:56Okay. Okay?
01:58The state of Alabama has the 48-hour
02:01waiting period, which is a
02:03major insult to women to say
02:05that you're not smart enough
02:07to make your decision without going home
02:09and thinking about it another 48 hours
02:11saying a woman hasn't
02:13thought about this when they come into the clinic.
02:15This one of the salmon
02:17isn't bad!
02:18We stand on abortion care!
02:20This one of the salmon isn't bad!
02:23States who are
02:24in the forefront, like states in the
02:27South, like Texas and Alabama
02:28and Mississippi,
02:30serve as the testing grounds for
02:32this sort of model legislation for people
02:35who would oppose abortion.
02:36And you can rest assured
02:37if those types
02:39of regulations are felt
02:41to be constitutional,
02:43it won't take long for the remaining states
02:46to implement those rules.
02:53They call it harassment because we're preaching.
02:56We're men.
02:57Men does not stand by when babies are murdered.
03:00For men,
03:01it's a cowardly thing.
03:03This is what we do, you know.
03:14During the time that we was closed,
03:17we had a woman who came into the office
03:19and she said,
03:21I am pregnant.
03:22I am not going to have this baby.
03:25If I have to take a knife
03:27and stick it in my stomach,
03:29I will not have this child.
03:32And if something's not done,
03:33that's what we're going to go back to.
03:35We're not going to stop abortions.
03:37Women are going to continue to have abortions.
03:40We're only going to stop
03:41the ones that are safe
03:43and legal abortions
03:46and go back
03:47to the back alley days.
03:50And that's what we don't want.
03:52That's where women were dying.
03:54That's where women were dying.
03:55One out of every three women
03:58have had an abortion
03:59and they're remaining silent.
04:02And if women continue to remain silent,
04:04they're going to lose this right.
04:07If someone thought that the issue
04:09was solved by the passage of Roe in 1973,
04:14the fight began with the passage of Roe.
04:17Because there's never been a day
04:19when there hasn't been a strategy
04:20to overturn Roe.
04:22So I would say that
04:24the issue of our day
04:27is reproductive rights
04:29and abortion for women.
04:30that, that's the answer for that.
04:32...
04:35that's the answer for the demand
04:36...
