[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Lucky for the PP, SCOTUS hadn't overturned R v W in 2018 when they needed abortion.  [/quote]I never had or would have an abortion[/quote]

I'm the PP who had the ectopic.  It was a VERY much wanted pregnancy (FET).  It would have killed me, and left my older DD motherless.  
You'd rather die?[/quote]
An ectopic is not an abortion, in that the pregnancy is in the wrong place. Life of the mother comes first. Comparing this to an abortion due to not wanting to be pregnant is simply a way for those that believe abortion should be on demand for whatever reason to create a red herring. I have not seen an abortion law that’s passed that would deny you treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. I’ve seen idiots try though. [/quote]

Wait since when does life of the mother come first??? There are women literally bringing bags of foul smelling pus to emergency rooms to prove they’re septic *enough* for life saving treatment and you think the life of the mother comes first for these psychos??[/quote]
