[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Doctors do not want to perform abortions and this has been the reality for decades.[/quote]
I listened to an interview with an ob-gyn who performed abortions and he said there were three peer reviewed studies within the past 10 years that have consistently shown over 85% of ob-gyns refuse to do abortions.[/quote]

My OB in NC wouldn’t perform elective abortions. I asked bout this because my second kid nearly killed me and I was told it was not safe to have another.  She said she didn’t do elective abortions, it her practice always had at least one MD who did, and if I needed one she would refer me to them. She did perform D&Cs for incomplete miscarriages and abort ectopic pregnancies— so provide medically necessary abortion care. I know this because I had one of each.

IDK the percent, but some OBs do decide not to provide *elective* abortion care. But those that don’t will refer patients out to a colleague or planned parenthood or whatnot. And do perform the medically necessary ones. [/quote]

Maybe there are malpractice insurance implications if there is more than one doctor who does them.

Maybe their malpractice insurance is even higher and therefore practices can only afford to have one do them. [/quote]
