Michigan Health Care Provider Open Letter to Legislators regarding the RHA

The Michigan Legislature needs to pass the Reproductive Health Act

Michigan Health Care Provider Open Letter to Legislators regarding the RHA

Dear Michigan Lawmakers,

We are Michigan health care providers who care deeply for the health, safety, and well-being of our patients. We have dedicated our careers and lives to providing evidence-based care, delivered with quality, safety, integrity, and compassion. That is why we support the Reproductive Health Act (RHA)—a package of bills that would finally give Michiganders the chance to receive abortion care that is aligned with the best medical evidence and standards without unnecessary legislative interference.

Anti-abortion politicians have spent decades passing laws in Michigan that make abortion care harder to access, criminalize health care providers like us for providing medical care, and interfere with the patient-clinician relationship – including our ability to provide care aligned with the best medical evidence and standards.

As we work to repeal unnecessary and harmful laws by passing the RHA, we want to correct commonly repeated misinformation that is the product of carefully crafted anti-abortion talking points. Specifically, we want to address misinformation regarding three aspects of the RHA: Michigan’s 24-hour mandatory delay, repeal of medically unnecessary surgical facility requirements, and Medicaid coverage.

Michigan’s 24-hour mandatory delay: This requirement exists simply to delay or prevent access to care. People in need of abortion care must access state-mandated information, with a timestamp, at least 24 hours prior to abortion care. This involves searching the internet for the correct form, reading through multiple pages of biased information, and then printing the final two pages with a timestamp.

Research has clearly shown that state-mandated delays don’t change people’s minds about their need for abortion care, they simply make the care harder to get. Everyday people in Michigan–including people facing severe fetal anomalies, medical complications, family hardship, or violence–are turned away from appointments because their timestamp isn’t valid, the consent expired (which happens after two weeks), they couldn’t gain access to a printer, or they simply didn’t know they needed to bring this state form to their appointment. This does not reflect the true informed consent–including a discussion of a person’s unique situation, health considerations, risks and options–that people expect, deserve, and will continue to receive from the trusted health care professional providing their care.

Medically unnecessary surgical facility requirements (TRAP laws): A separate, unnecessary Michigan law currently stipulates abortion care occur in a building that meets the requirements of a freestanding surgical outpatient facility, also called an ambulatory surgical center. Such laws – known as Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers or TRAP laws – are premised on the false implication that abortion care is dangerous and requires a highly regulated facility for safety. The reality is that abortion care is extremely safe–mortality rates are higher for colonoscopies and adult tonsillectomy compared to abortion care. And the abortion procedure (which is exactly the same procedure used to safely treat miscarriage every day in clinic settings) does not require specialized facilities for safe, effective care.

In 2018 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a report that concluded there is no evidence that performing abortions procedures in ambulatory surgical centers increases the safety of the procedure. Quite simply, TRAP laws like Michigan’s exist to make it expensive and burdensome for clinics to provide abortion, depriving communities of abortion care. Because of this, there are no clinics offering abortion procedures north of Saginaw, forcing people in the Upper Peninsula to travel hundreds of miles for this care.

Medicaid coverage for abortion care: Finally, the RHA would repeal bans on Medicaid and private insurance coverage of abortion care. Abortion access should not depend on how much money a person makes, who they are, or where they live. Those most burdened by Michigan’s ban on Medicaid coverage of abortion care are the same people who face systemic barriers to health care, including Black and Indigenous people, rural residents, people with disabilities, and people who are working to make ends meet. Many of these same communities also suffer unacceptably higher maternal death rates– particularly Black women who are 2-3 times more likely to die in pregnancy compared to white women. Maternal death rates are higher in states with abortion restrictions. Restricting access to care based on income or insurance type only worsens health equity.

As legislators prepare to vote on the RHA, if they have remaining questions or concerns, we encourage them to turn to medical experts–like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)–and to avoid getting tangled in anti-abortion misinformation.

We trust our patients to make the best decisions for their health and urge all Michigan legislators to break through dangerous misinformation and pass the RHA package. In doing so, we have the opportunity to roll back decades of stigmatizing, criminalizing, medically unnecessary Michigan laws that continue to hinder Michigan health care providers’ ability to provide abortion care aligned with the best medical evidence and standards.

Please put patients ahead of politics and pass the Reproductive Health Act.
