Dr. Willie Parker

[Content Note: War on agency; class warfare; racism; religion; descriptions of abortion.]

Esquire has a profile on Dr. Willie Parker, a doctor who flies into Mississippi from out of state in order to provide abortions at the state's last standing abortion clinic, which the state is trying to close down: "The Abortion Ministry of Dr. Willie Parker."

I'm not even going to excerpt it. Just go read the whole thing.

Thank you, Dr. Parker, for what you do.
