If you aren't a forced birther, you really shouldn't be living in Texas and certain other states right now. |
Cede large swaths of the country to the fascists? What sense does that make? It’s an artificially red state. |
Perhaps there is some misinformation going around Even if a hospital’s legal team was to say that risking a patient’s life is preferable to the risk of being legally accountable for an abortion, the doctors have taken the Hippocratic oath to do no harm |
I wasn’t aware the Hippocratic oath keeps doctors out of prison. |
Yes, you’re trying to spread misinformation and obfuscate the real damage caused by the forced birther laws. Reap the whirlwind, misogynist. |
So if you withhold treatment the mother dies, but you cannot be accused of violating heartbeat law (eg ectopic pregnancy) But if the mother dies, you can be accused of murder Which would you like ? |
When doctors are imprisoned and/or lose their licenses, even more women will die. They have an obligation to stay in the field and keep treating patients, especially in areas where there already is a shortage of providers. It's on you that they have to make these calculations, not on the ones who are struggling to keep as many patients safe with their training as they can. |
Apparently it does when it involves terminating the life of a baby -- no harm at all!! |
The fetus is not their patient. The mother is. |
It’s not a baby. Do you seriously not know the difference between a fetus and a baby? |
Exactly. You don’t send your babies, toddlers, and children to an OBGYN. That’s because they treat women. |
