IN the NEWS - Guam Looking for an Abortionist

 For the hardness of your heart... Mark 10:5

"The governor of Guam is on a mission to expand abortion access for Guam residents and find an abortionist for the island.
While abortion is legal in the predominantly Catholic territory, no doctors have been willing to commit the procedure since the island's last abortionist retired in 2018.

Governor Lourdes Leon Guerrero campaigned for greater abortion rights before her election, but since taking office in January she's been unable to bring abortion back to the territory.
Without an abortionist on the island, any woman who wants an abortion must travel to Hawaii, a nearly 8-hour flight. Over the past six months, an estimated two to three women have made that trip.
Dr. Jayne Flores, director of the Bureau of Women's Affairs on Guam tells Pacific Daily News that she is working on a preliminary plan to recruit an abortionist to the island."
