Dr. Willie Parker Is The Only Black, Christian Abortion Doctor Who Insists That Women Matter & Demands That We Treat Them Like They Do Episode 132

Imagine being an doctor who identifies as a Christian, but also feels called to provide care to women seeking abortions?

OB/GYN, and reproductive justice advocate, Dr. Willie Parker, was on his way to work when the decision to overturn Roe V Wade was announced, making it impossible for him to perform an abortion on the patient he was scheduled to see.

So what would you do if the law of the land changed on a dime and you were no longer able to perform procedures in many of the states where you were licensed to practice? Would you figure that you’d done everything that you could, and consider changing your specialty? Or would you re-up your commitment to reproductive justice advocacy, insisting that every woman be treated like she matters.
