SiX in the Press: Arizona, Dominican Republic both grapple with 19th century abortion laws
Jennifer Driver, the Senior Director of Reproductive Rights for SiX, a national organization advancing progressive policies across the country that took Hernandez and several other lawmakers to the Dominican Republic this year, said that the legal questions doctors in the Caribbean country grapple with parallel what doctors in Arizona and other restrictive states are beginning to face.
“Doctors discussed how their hands were tied about the care they could provide,” she said. “That is the same exact message that we are hearing from doctors here — doctors who are having to check in with legal before they can provide health care, medical care to their patients.”
