[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]

[b]Will we see more such cases all over these anti-abortion states?[/b] [/quote]
Yes. Obstetrics was always a high insurance field in which to practice - the stakes are so high and our society so litigious - but[b] who is going to want to practice in the backward states now?[/b] It’ll probably start in the margins in the rural areas at first and then bleed into the cities.

Losing pediatricians is going to hollow out wherever kids live and leave the remaining kids extremely vulnerable. What a moronic mess the GOP has made for themselves. [/quote]

It sure as heck won't be the indian and chinese doctors who come to the US to practice.[/quote]
