A judge has ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood, which filed a 2019 lawsuit challenging an Alaska state law that specified that only licensed physicians are permitted to commit abortions.

In 2019, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky filed a lawsuit, arguing that non-physician healthcare providers like nurse practitioners and physicians assistants should be allowed to commit abortions. A temporary order was put in place allowing this in 2021, until the case was formally decided.

Under this ruling, non-physicians can now commit chemical abortions, as well as surgical aspiration abortions (both most commonly used in the first trimester). Despite the claim that this is a necessary ruling for women, it actually puts them at increased risk.

A 2013 study from the Ryan Residency abortion training program at the University of California San Francisco, abortions committed by non-physicians are more likely to end in complications than those committed by physicians. With aspiration abortions, the most common complication was incomplete abortions, meaning parts of the preborn baby were left inside the mother’s body. This can lead to life-threatening infection and death. The abortion pill likewise has been found to be four times more dangerous than first trimester surgical abortions, and increases in its rate of incomplete abortions as gestation progresses.

Alaska Superior Court Judge Josie Garton, who also issued the ruling, said the law violated privacy and equal protection rights of patients by potentially making it more difficult to obtain abortions. “There is … no medical reason why abortion is regulated more restrictively than any other reproductive health care,” she wrote.

However, there are medical reasons why abortion would be regulated more restrictively than other “reproductive health care” — primarily that in the case of abortion, reproduction has already taken place, and the abortion procedure seeks to intentionally destroy the resulting human life. No legitimate reproductive health care intentionally kills distinct human beings in the womb. Referring to the killing of a human being as “medicine” is propaganda on the level of Orwellian Newspeak.

Does other health care do this?

Or this?

“By striking down these unnecessary restrictions, the court affirmed what we knew all along: every Alaskan deserves the freedom to seek abortion care from trusted providers in their own communities,” Rebecca Gibron, CEO of the Planned Parenthood affiliate, said in a statement.

Attorneys for the state disagreed that this change was necessary, however. “The quantitative evidence does not suggest that patients are delayed or prevented from obtaining abortion care in Alaska,” Alaska Department of Law attorneys Margaret Paton Walsh and Christopher Robison wrote in a court filing.

Adding the word “care” after abortion — “abortion care” — is language that attempts to legitimize the killing of a human being. The above photos are evidence that abortion is not “care” in any way, shape, or form.
