[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to OB/gyn and ER doctors, I am also hearing that endocrinologists are avoiding these states as well. Most of these states already had a doctor shortage so this is a particularly perverse result for them. And totally predictable. I feel really bad for the people at places like UT, UF and UA medical school, all of which are excellent med schools that people have spent their lives building into credible institutions that are now unable to fully train doctors. [/quote] Right.. I've heard before abortion was legalized starting in the 1960s there were few doctors. The 1950s were utter hell.[/quote] fwiw Roe v Wade wasn't decided until 1973. NY legalized abortion in 1970, I don't know of any other state that did. But it may have been a little easier for doctors to perform therapeutic abortions, at least for people who had the means. They trained docs how to perform abortions back then, plus since pregnancy couldn't be diagnosed as early then, they could do a D&C without officially knowing why someone's period was late. I doubt illegality of abortion had anything to do with doctor shortages before Roe v Wade though. [/quote]
