Several states have ruled that all abortions should be considered nonessential procedures and must be delayed during the coronavirus crisis.
Abortion rights groups have criticized the moves, calling an abortion an essential service., known as the Pink House, if it continues to provide abortions during the coronavirus pandemic.
"We're doing everything in our power, and have for many years, to make Mississippi the safest place in America for unborn children," he said."That's something I was not familiar with," said Dr. Thomas Dobbs, state health officer, during a Tuesday news conference with the governor."And before I would make any comments, I think we have to review the situation a bit more.
Abortion rights advocates called the ban bad policy and accused Paxton and Abbott of using the crisis to issue a de facto ban on a procedure strongly opposed by the two Republican leaders. Abbott’s emergency order – in force until April 21 – banned surgeries and procedures that “are not immediately medically necessary” to increase hospital capacity available for an expected surge in coronavirus patients.
“No one is exempt from the governor’s executive order on medically unnecessary surgeries and procedures, including abortion providers,” Paxton said.
