Women living in states that passed new abortion laws are acting as though the procedure is already illegal, Planned Parenthood's CEO said at the WSJFuture Of Everything Festival. “They are worried that...they have to take measures into their own hands.”
Some women living in states that passed laws restricting or banning abortion are acting as though the procedure is already illegal, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America said on Monday, despite the fact the new laws haven’t yet gone into effect.
“Patients are deeply worried,” said Leana Wen, speaking at The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival on Monday. She said some women were afraid of attending appointments and others had tried to move them up. “They are worried that abortion is already illegal and they have to take measures into their own hands,” added Dr. Wen, a doctor who became president of the organization in November.
