[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does the state defined cutoffs for estimated blood loss level, hemoglobin level, vital signs, at which point an abortion is allowed to be performed for emergent reasons?

What if the state prosecutor thinks the hemoglobin level wasn't low enough? Is an abortion allowed to be performed if only one reading is outside of normal?[/quote]

I didn't find the lab cutoffs requested but get back to me if I missed them. At what degree of blood loss, hemoglobin level and blood pressure can a doctor perform an abortion based on this document? If hemorrhage, what are the cutoff levels at which this is defined? If only blood pressure is low but hemoglobin is within normal limits, or vice versa, is a doctor allowed to proceed? They have to consult with the hospital lawyer and/or local attorney general first? [/quote]

Consulting a Texas ob-gyn would yield your answers. Apparently this woman has none of the symptoms you are listing.

The things you list occur as symptoms  that indicate and supports a specific medical diagnosis. The diagnosis is the supported by the labs and vitals and degree of blood loss, etc. Each diagnosis can have some or all of the symptoms. Each symptom can have different degrees of severity. A medical doctor would know how severely the patient was affected by the symptoms that caused the patient to be diagnosed with a medical condition.

I didn’t have any input into the Texas law nor do I practice as an attorney or medical doctor in Texas. I assume you don’t either. You must have a reason to want to know these things for your personal knowledge, and you could reach out to medical and legal professionals in Texas.[/quote]

Truly fascinating that the same people always screeching about freedom and making government small enough to drown in a bathtub are the same people that are in favor of legislating the crap out of healthcare they don't agree with.[/quote]
