Isn’t $68 Million enough?
We know the Coronavirus is about to get worse. By Monday, 3000 had died in America and Canada. By end of Tuesday, 4000. One state over, Illinois officials released an emergency alert to residents pleading for additional licensed healthcare workers to come forward as they prepare for the pending deluge of death. Federal officials fear fatalities could reach nearly a quarter of a million Americans. This could also be true for Canadians, which is why officials have urged people to not only seek medical attention in hospitals physically but also to seek virtual consultations (offered by
Windsor urgent care clinics such as Associates in Family Medicine) upon noticing symptoms of the virus.
Currently, both America and Canada are on a Coronavirus lockdown.
Officials hope such draconian measures will slow the rate of infection so that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed with critical medical supplies depletion. Moreover, conditions are similar all over the world, with an increase in COVID cases and a lack of necessary medications and equipment. The shortage is made worse by manufacturers not being able to produce the necessary equipment fast enough because of the shutdowns. Increased reliance on lab automation is needed now more than ever. Until the supply chain is put back on track, there are going to be serious consequences for the infected. All across the world, government spending has been spread thin across different sectors, especially in the medical and hospitality field.
Transportation companies are also trying their best to fulfill the public requirement, perhaps with the help of pallet transport services and air freight to smaller countries. A few American states have also taken a blunt force of coronavirus with the constant growth in new cases.
New York City is the epicenter
In New York City, the epicenter of infections at the moment, Mayor Bill De Blasio is so insistent on a Coronavirus lockdown for the sake of public safety, that he even threatens to permanently shutter any churches that congregate to worship God. Said the mayor:
“The NYPD, fire department, buildings department – everyone has been instructed that if they see worship services going on, they will go to the officials of that congregation, they’ll inform them they need to stop the services and disperse. If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building permanently.”
Yet inexplicably, he allows abortion clinics to remain open, having once characterized human abortion as a “sacred choice.”
No threat of permanent lockdowns.
Do they really need the money at the expense of public safety?
Does Planned Parenthood really need money that badly at the expense of siphoning off critical medical supplies during a pandemic? After all, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York enjoyed $98 Million in income in their recent Federal Form 990 filings. Here in Iowa, Planned Parenthood North Central States reported $68 Million.
Something is wrong with this picture.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds suspended elective medical procedures and surgeries, such as dental, eye, and abortion, in an effort to preserve precious health care resources during the upcoming critical weeks.
Big Abortion balked. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit on behalf of their clinics to block the governor’s action.
At a time when medical supplies are in such critical demand, when so many human lives are at stake, couldn’t these abortion clinics suspend operations for even a few weeks? Isn’t $68 Million enough?
