[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She died because of malpractice and negligence, not the abortion law.  Doctors are absolutely allowed to preform abortions if the mother’s life is at risk- at any time.  The doctor failed to recognize this.  You can’t say her outcome would have been any different- the doctor still may have said “let’s wait”

This is why OB/GYN doctors have one of the highest rates of malpractice.  They make the wrong calls at times.

There is no ban appendectomies- yet women especially get delayed care or the “wait and see” or misdiagnosed at a high rate, leading  to sepsis and sometimes death.  There are a lot of bad doctors [/quote]
You are being intellectually dishonest (or dumb).  The AG in TX over rode a TX doctor's recommendation for an abortion in Kate Cox's case.  This is what happens when you let lawyers make decisions about healthcare instead of doctors.  Those lawyers have become death panels.

…”her doctors doctors refused to perform an abortion” so it hardly sounds like they recommended it or thought her life was in danger.  Being pregnant with a genetically abnormal baby isnt an emergency.  She was never hospitalized and there is no indication her doctors felt she needed an abortion.  In fact, it was she who reached out to the Center for Reproductive Rights to have her case heard.  She wanted an abortion so the baby didn’t suffer not because of imminent health risk. Seeing as there are zero statements from her doctors and they likely didn’t testify at court, or it would have been said. The person her felt her case fell under the health exception was “Duane, her lawyer”

But for the ban, the life saving abortion would have been her choice, a choice to stay alive and be a mother to her living child who is now motherless; the doctors would not have refused.[/quote]
