Red States seeing doctors refusing to work there

It's not about my life, it's about protecting those who cannot protect themselves, the unborn.
I'd be more capable of believing you if you and your fellow anti-abortion worked as hard at making sure these "unborn", once born, didn't live in poverty, were educated, and given opportunities to contribute to society. But, of course, that takes money and since you've got yours, you don't give a d*** about that after they are born. Some protection.

The problem is that you supported a title meant to suggest a national and serious problem with a single story of a single doctor. That is hyperbole.
 
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?
Well, the 16 y/o girl could do what 16 year-old-girls had to do when I was 16. Marry the father or go off to visit an aunt for 6 months and give up the baby for adoption. Thankfully, we no longer live in that punitive time, but many Christo-fascists are determined to take us back there. What's next? Forbidding contraception? Forbidding women to vote? Keeping women the property, first of their fathers, then their husbands? I could keep on but, I have better things to do than repeat what any one with a brain that can compute has observed. Keeping women subject to the whims and laws of the men, their "betters" is their end-game.

The same folks who will tell you that none of the above will ever happen were telling us that Roe was not going to be overturned inside of 10 years ago.
 
My husband is an ER doc. His transcriptionist remarked today that she remembered her mother's friends talking about D & Cs they had to have pre-Roe v Wade. Very common then because they were abortions
 
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.
Its ironic the Right warned us about those East Coast Elites, then they go and elect one🙄
 
Of course they're not, but I imagine many of them clearly see the possibility of far-reaching, negative ramifications due to these anti-choice laws, no matter what kind of medicine they practice.
Why? They should understand the law and abide by it. If they want to get into the abortion business then another state would be the way for them to go. Otherwise, not an issue at all.
 
I know a hell of a lot more doctors in Pa. who were totally disgruntled when they were prevented from treating COVID patients by our federal bureaucracy run by Fauci and friends. This alarmism over abortion mostly seems like a political ploy for policy bereft Democrats. Our liberal media has definitely bamboozled our naive youth.

Backed up by an article about one medical student in one red state. Please people, you can do better than this.

Exactly ^^^^^^

We already parsed that earlier in the thread.

It is surely an issue for those with a conscience.

No you don’t and GOPutins made abortion an ISSUE.

If you mean Trump then he's somehow not an elite despite being a self-confessed billionaire with a property empire who spent his entire time in office giving tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and mega-corporations.
Trump is a man of the people even though he's spent a lifetime treating contractors he hired like scum and screwing them every chance he got.

He's such a man of the people he even charged the secret service full price and forced them to stay in his hotles to protect him while in office.

He truly is a modern day Jesus.
 
Concscience? It is a matter of common sense and morality.
So you are trying to tell me one's conscience in the matter has no meaning?

It's like Putin. It's a warning when they say they won't do something or don't believe in something. That means they're about to do it.
It's how Biden knew they were going to invade Ukraine.
Looks like they've learned from the best of the worst.

My step mother did that -- birthed her child and gave him up for adoption. She never got over it. Never.

I reject the very idea that being a mother is a “bad future” or “torpedoing the future”

Being a single career woman should be seen as lower status then being a teen mom as far as I’m concerned.
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?
I don’t view children as a “ramification of a poor life decision”

This entire worldview is borderline evil.

She made a better decision than abortion, but she should’ve raised her own child. At least she’s not a murderer however
