because of fears of Roe v Wade restrictions. More blowback.

 
I wonder if anyone will blame it on "socialist universities" and medical schools training doctors to be Trumpist-hating soy boy librul coastal elites, or the like.

:unsure:


It's unsurprising and will unfortunately get more people killed (I morbidly wonder what the Dobbs body count will be). They are charged with doing no harm; with saving lives. Yet any number of these theocratic right wing states have restrictions that would prevent a procedure that may be medically necessary for that purpose. Worse, that leave the definition vague so as to create a chilling effect: not knowing what a jury might eventually decide and not wanting to wade through all the expense and worry of a criminal trial, docs simply avoid doing the procedure.

All in the name of forced birth of those who, once born, will be "persons" whom the GOP is not interested in protecting in the slightest. That would make them takers, you see.

And entire article based on one staffing firm supposedly having 20 people turn down calls about a job. LOL. That’s amusing.

Guess we shall see how this plays out.
 
Th far right has cried havoc and let loose the law of unintended consequences. Plenty more consequences coming. It's women who will suffer — pro-life and pro-choice women.

It's early days. Batten down the hatches — you ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Doctors like working in Virginia. Not all doctors are abortion doctors for ****s sake.

Then pro choice doctors can move to other states if they want to.
 
I think the no choice people should all live together. They can have montana, both dakotas and wyoming but only if they build a wall around their domain.
I'll throw in Idaho.

Broadly written abortion bans across the United States have cast a chill across the broader practice of reproductive health, say mainstream physician leaders who support abortion rights. In states without exceptions for the life and health of the woman, they say, routine standards of care are being scrapped.

They worry that limits on training for new doctors will undermine recruitment of young talent. They are concerned about restrictions on fertility treatment. They anticipate that conservative legislatures will seek to impose bans on certain types of contraception, including IUDs and Plan B medication. Most Republicans in the U.S. House voted last month against a measure protecting the right to contraception.

Additionally, many OB/GYN doctors, even if they don't perform abortions themselves, believe strongly in patient autonomy and decision-making, said academic and clinical leaders.
 
Interesting what the 10 best states for doctors vs. 10 worst states are.

I'm sure Texas won't miss the kinds of teachers who don't wish to work there. I am sure they will be welcome in States which don't mind teachers who indoctrinate rather that teach.

As for doctors? Is that ALL doctors, or just the kind who do abortions? :unsure:

Meanwhile, as someone posted in #13 Texas ranks well above California, New York, Illinois, in fact most Blue States in Opportunity and Medical Environment.

Now it is true that Texas trigger law prohibits all abortion except that which is done by a licensed physician to save the life of, or to prevent significant harm to the mother. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/HS/htm/HS.170A.htm

Still, as stated by SCOTUS, if a majority of Texas citizens disagree with this law, then they should use the next election opportunity to support election of State Representatives who will change the law. If I still lived in Texas, I'd support such candidates, as long as they were still supportive of all the other rights actually guaranteed by the Constitution (1A, 2A, etc.).

Red states don't really believe in science anyway. They can go back to leeches and prayers.

Gerrymandering keeps Texas a right-wing one party state even if most voters reject it.

What a hateful response. You should be on The View. Be glad that states can choose their own abortion laws.
 
Stating facts his hateful?
Saying red states don't believe in science and should go back to leeches is not a fact. Nothing wrong with prayers.

If an 16 y/o girl makes a bad decision and gets pregnant from a guy who tells her he loves her...should that bad decision basically torpedo her entire future? Could you imagine if men where held to this same standard where the law forced the ramifications of their poor decision to follow them for the rest of their life?
