Some in the medical field have a god complex. Others worship money and power. and some don't care.
Doctors learn that they really don't make a difference, so they either work to get rich, or they experiment.
Anyone can say that an elected politician has a god complex, worships money and power, and harm people on their power trip.
If Roe is overturned and states can make their own laws, they will significantly harm women medically and threaten to harm doctors who follow medical ethics.
First, in general - Carrying a pregnancy to term and giving birth is 14 times more likely to result in the pregnant woman's death than is safe, legal abortion; such an abortion in the first 10-12 weeks is 22-24 times safer than carrying a pregnancy to term and giving birth; the death rate related to childbirth is either 2 or 3 times higher for African-American women than white women.
Second, specific to medical treatment of miscarriage -
We already have examples of substandard care of women who miscarried wanted pregnancies in an anti-abortion legal environment in Ireland and Poland. In both places, the law allowed doctors to save a woman's life in a medical emergency with medical procedures that could be classed as abortion, e.g., administering certain drugs or performing surgery.
In both places, women had only incomplete miscarriages - which are common but always end in the death of the embryo/fetus prior to viability. There is great danger when the embryo/fetus and cord, etc., do not completely exit the woman's body, because there is danger of the woman developing sepsis (poisoning of the blood) suddenly, which will kill her. In these cases, the cord had largely broken and repair was impossible, but the fetus had a heartbeat.
In Ireland, the woman was 17 weeks pregnant and fetal survival was impossible, but the doctors were so terrified of the law, which would have charged them with murder if they killed the fetus, that instead of offering to complete the cord break and remove the fetus and miscarriage products immediately, they said they would wait two or three days monitoring her to see if the miscarriage would complete on its own. Because of this, when they finally saw they would have to break the cord themselves, she had already gone into sepsis and rapidly died of the poison.
In Poland, the case was nearly identical, but the woman had the incomplete miscarriage at nearly 20 weeks, I think. The chances of the fetus hanging on and being born at viability, 22 weeks minimum, was virtually zero, but instead of performing the completion procedure promptly, they wanted to wait a week to try for a childbirth, though this was terribly threatening to the woman's life. Naturally, this resulted in sepsis in the woman and rapid death.
In Ireland, anti-abortion people, including the church, tried to blame the doctors, but the public was outraged that the wording of the law had so clearly threatened doctors that they could not have given the woman proper medical care without risking being arrested. In Poland, anti-abortion people did the same thing, though the doctors rightly claimed there had to be clarification of the interpretation of the wording of the law.
These women, who both wanted their pregnancies that miscarried, died. Their fetuses didn't have a chance, but anti-abortion laws so over-valued the fetuses and under-valued the women that the latter received substandard care because the government and law had threatened the doctors.
Who do you want making these laws, a bunch of half-educated idiots who got in power by playing politics and don't even know what an incomplete miscarriage is, or professional doctors with years of education and experience who have taken an oath not to harm a patient?
These nations' anti-abortion laws and populations killed these women as surely as if they had shot them through the heart.
