Safety Considerations
I remember having conversations with my spouse about it, like, are you okay with me continuing to do this kind of work? Because there's definitely a safety element now.
Beyond just the law, I am concerned about doxing and what people might do, like putting my name on a list somewhere.
I would say the other doctors that I work with that provide abortions had a much higher fear than I did. Maybe it was me being naive, because I hadn’t been doing it very long.
I also think that there's definitely an aspect of white male privilege in there compared to my colleagues. I did not maybe feel that fear. It was more of a devastation of, then my patients can't get care, or that people can't get that, something that I just thought was a fundamental right. And that was the hard part for me to wrap my head around.
