[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]

Plenty do, they just do it quietly because “pro-lifers” are rabid and violent animals, and they don’t want to live every day in fear for their lives just for taking care of their patients. Also, PP employs OB/GYNs.  [/quote]

+1. I was told after my second child nearly killed me that I would likely die if I tried to carry another babY to term. I got an IUD and asked by OB/Gyn what happened if it failed. She said she didn’t do abortions but would refer me to someone in her practice who did.  (Two years later, I did, in fact get pregnant and it was ectopic, so the pregnancy was terminated in emergency surgery while I Bled out). [/quote]
