The state's attorney general is using concerns about limited supplies of protective medical gear to prevent women from ending pregnancies.

In an effort to ensure health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak have proper access to personal protective equipment, or PPE, authorities at both the state and federal level are asking doctors and patients to forego “nonessential” operations.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a Republican, sent letters dated Friday to three of the state’s abortion providers ordering them to stop providing surgical abortions effective immediately. The department’s order, issued Tuesday, was a broad directive telling all the state’s health care providers to cancel all “non-essential surgeries and procedures” effective 5 p.m. Wednesday. It did not mention abortion or outline any specific procedures that were considered nonessential.

NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Executive Director Kellie Copeland emphasized Saturday how limiting abortion access during a pandemic was “reckless,” as women could be forced to go out-of-state at a time when travel is actively discouraged.

Coronavirus Is Giving Readers Plenty of News. But Local Outlets Are Still Teetering.Readers are flocking to news sites during the coronavirus pandemic. Yet, financially, the crisis is delivering a punishing blow to already struggling local publishers, from big-city metro papers to small-town outlets. The main thing is not to panic👌🏻 Indeed, I think some news companies may be bankrupt. And then they will change their business model. People are flocking to blogs to get facts. Mainstream publications like the WSJ are biased opinion rags of crap. They no longer are trusted and they did it to themselves.

Mosques face up to pandemic as Friday prayers bring coronavirus riskThe coronavirus stopped communal Muslim prayers for the first time in living memory in many mosques from Indonesia to Morocco, but in some places believers have defied medical advice to join together in worship Another thing we have seen through the spike of outbreak all over the world, a lot of religious groups have become a cluster for super spreads. Time for taking care of the others rather than their groups, otherwise what they speak of is a collective egoism. 😭😭😭😭😭 Wise step. But still in India they are yet to do that. Their wisdom is masked by stupid hatred towards government and mislead by cheap politicians
