Abortions at Home: Buyer Beware Gwinnett County, GA

Abortions at Home: Buyer Beware Gwinnett County, GA

The outbreak of COVID-19 has turned life, as we know it, inside out and upside down. A surplus of uncertainty has created a storm fear and anxiety for most Americans. Is it safe to leave my house? Will a mask really help? Should I double-mask? What if I am asymptomatic but a carrier? How do I know if I have it? The questions go on and on. And so does the advice – solicited and unsolicited.

One message that has been well-heard in Peachtree Corners, GA is the one to stay home. “Shelter in place” will forever be woven into our collective lexicon. In response to this “new normal” medical providers have responded by utilizing telemedicine.  “Telemedicine makes it easier and more convenient for patients to stay healthy and engaged in their health care.” It offers flexibility and real-time care with a medical provider from the comfort of home. Problem solved, right?

 

Not so quick. There is one area where telemedicine has the potential to create more harm than good: the abortion industry. Obtaining an abortion through telemedicine eliminates the step of traveling to an abortion clinic. Instead, an abortion provider conducts a video evaluation over the internet. A few days later, the patient will receive her abortion pills via the mail. Too good to be true? Let’s examine the facts.

Prior to taking the abortion pills, you should visit a licensed medical provider to determine if this is the appropriate course of action for you. There are several factors to consider which cannot be determined through a video interview.
