[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]

[b]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.[/b][/quote]

PP who wrote the bolded should listen to Act One: "Do No Harm" of this episode of This American Life, about one Idaho OB's decision about leaving the state as she sees the profound impact the abortion is having on regular obstetrical care. It is eye-opening, and I think most people have NO idea about this.

My guess is that the majority of the women who would be affected but who happily keep voting against their own rights think there will be an exception. Plus, to listen to them talk, they tend to be pig ignorant; how many of them have you read on this forum alone who insist that their d&c wasn’t an abortion, even though by medical definition that’s exactly what it was.

And to be that ignorant means that they’ve made media choices that aren’t going to tell them the truth or they’ve listened to forced birther propaganda for so long that they don’t understand that to be forced birth means death for women.[/quote]
