Statement on Suspension of Toledo Doctor
Doctor is alleged to have secretly given abortion pill to woman he impregnated
Ohio Right to Life Executive Director Carrie Snyder released the following statement regarding the suspension of the license of a University of Toledo Medical Center doctor who is alleged to have secretly given abortion drugs to a patient.
“These allegations against the doctor are sickening and frightening, and highlight one of the many dangers women face from abortion drugs. Beyond the potential serious medical complications from taking the drugs, women face the unknown danger of a partner acquiring abortion pills and attempting to give them the drugs without their knowledge or consent.”
“If the allegations are true, this is attempted murder, plain and simple.”
“Radical activist judges in Ohio have continued to block Ohio laws that would limit easy access to abortion pills. They bear some responsibility for this. We look forward to the Ohio Supreme Court overturning the lower court. In the meantime, Ohio Right to Life calls on the legislature to pass HB 324, the Patient Protection Act, which would prevent situations like this from happening by restoring common sense laws in the prescription of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. We will also pursue other ways to restore the protections of women which have been stripped away by will of Ohio voters.”
