Idaho Lost One in Three Obstetricians After Its Abortion Ban

[CaughtInThe]

Hey, but I bet men in that state don't care. Why should they??



"As all this was happening, another shift was quietly unfolding across the state: obstetricians (OBs) in Idaho—doctors who specialize in delivering babies and providing care for pregnant people during and after pregnancy—were leaving their jobs as they faced the threat of jail time, fines, and felony charges for providing abortions, even in the case of life-threatening emergencies. While there have been some reports of these departures, there has been limited data quantifying how many OBs the state lost after Roe was overruled—until now.

“When those people leave, that is a huge body of institutional knowledge that walk out of that state,” said McEachern, who is also a distinguished scholar-in-residence at Boise State University and the chief medical officer at St. Luke’s Health Plan. “It’s a big dang deal,” he added.

AnnaMarie Connolly, a physician and the chief of education, workforce, and well-being at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), told Mother Jones that the findings are “a clear example of the damage abortion bans cause beyond abortion access.”

When you criminalize basic health care this is what happens.

And again, state abortion bans only apply to women who can't afford to travel out of state. This is simply another front in MAGA's war on the poor.

New Mexico has been publicly inviting doctors to move to NM and practice, including incentives. They've been focused on doctors from TX which has all but banned abortion but I'm sure that other doctors...and other states...and finding/offering greener pastures for practicing.

When your main job is being an abortionist.

Is that the main job of obstetricians? Can you break that down for us, sourced?

I can find no information stating that any OB/GYNs practice abortion as their "main business." Where are you getting this information?
