Dr. Yashica Robinson said she was 'appalled' that rapists could receive a lesser punishment than she would for completing an abortion.
A day after Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill banning almost all abortions in the state, a provider has spoken of her determination to continue offering terminations.
The board member of Physicians for Reproductive Health said she was “appalled” that rapists could receive a lesser punishment than she would for completing an abortion if the law comes into effect. A doctor could in theory face between 10 to 99 years in prison for providing an abortion, while an individual found guilty of second degree rape can be punished by a maximum of 20 years behind bars.
"I am enraged that the state of Alabama would force me to choose between what is ethical and medically appropriate care and breaking the law," wrote Robinson.
