Arkansas Clinic Offers Free Abortions

Finally, some good reproductive health news.

A doctor has offered to perform free abortions on hurricane evacuees, saying it may be too dangerous for them to wait until they return home.
Despite protests from abortion opponents, Little Rock Family Planning clinic director Dr. Jerry Edwards said he has already performed six free abortions. The clinic usually charges between $525 and $600 for a first-trimester abortion.
“If we didn’t provide it now, they would get it later–a late-term abortion that would give greater risk to the mother’s health,” Edwards told KTHV-TV in Little Rock.

Kudos to Dr. Edwards for his help.
