Can someone who is in favor of requiring that doctors have admitting privileges at a local hospital in order to perform an abortion at a clinic explain the medical benefit to the mother?
In other words, what benefit is there for such a requirement aside from reducing the number of doctors who are able to perform abortions?
If there are medical benefits to the mother, could these benefits still be had if the clinic simply had to be physically located within X miles of a hospital?
Emergency medical departments are, by and large, wonders of modern medical science. Acute patients can be rapidly diagnosed, stabilized, and admitted to the appropriate department for more specialized care. If they're good enough for victims of gunshot wounds and car accidents, why not patients of abortion clinics?
Has there been a pandemic of mothers bleeding to death that the press has been hiding from the American public?
