[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironically, the prolifers have pushed out obgyns and pediatricians from hospitals due to the restrictive abortion laws, and the hospital will no longer deliver babies.

[quote]An Idaho hospital has planned to stop delivering babies, with the medical center’s managers citing increasing criminalization of physicians and the inability to retain pediatricians as major reasons.

Bonner General Health, the only hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho, announced on Friday that it would no longer provide labor, delivery and a host of other obstetrical services.

The more than 9,000 residents of Sandpoint are now forced to drive 46 miles for the nearest labor and delivery care, the Idaho Statesman reported.[/quote]

Will we see more such cases all over these anti-abortion states? [/quote]

How does this relate? In Virginia, no OBGYN ever would perform an abortion, they would refer you to PP. I don't see why this would have any effect on regular OBGYN practice.[/quote]

I live in Virginia.  My OBGYN performed my abortion (several shots of methotrexate for an ectopic).  Of course I wasn't referred to PP.[/quote]

Because it was ectopic. You don’t see the difference?[/quote]
You do know that several red states are not allowing exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, right?[/quote]

And even when they do, doctors are afraid to treat because they may still be accused of performing an abortion. You basically have to be visibly hemorrhaging and maybe the ER will see you. [/quote]

This is modern times. It’s easy to show an ectopic pregnancy
[/quote]
Yes, but the way some states have written these laws, it’s not easy for a doctor to use methotrexate to solve that problem until the woman’s life is at risk. [/quote]
