[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is outrageous that scotus did not protect our daughters in every State from draconian laws like this Ohio law.

I think this is all the beginning of the destruction of the obstetrics infrastructure in some of these states.  They are no longer attractive places to try to practice maternal health care.[/quote]

There is so much focus on legal issues interfering with providing good care.   It is a stressful environment for docs already in a stressful specialty.[/quote]

I’m one of the lawyers on here and that’s exactly the point. NO ONE should wants their doctors—of any specialty— having to consult with a lawyer before they decide whether to provide life saving care. Saint, murderer, 10 year old, dirty dirty whole— doctors are supposed to provide the same standard of care to them all.  We expect doctors to provide the same standard of care to everyone, not reserve life saving care for virtuous people or sympathetic cases.

The lawyers and your church (if you practice) deal with you are a good person.

As Warnock so eloquently said: there isn’t room in a hospital room for a woman, her partner (if there is one), her doctor and the government.  To which aid add— and the hospitals lawyer. That treatment room is getting awfully crowded.

The only people you doctor should be consulting are other doctors, with your permission, in complex cases.  And hospital ethics boards in very usual, extreme cases.  The hospitals lawyer does not belong in the ER, deciding who lives and who dies.  Ever.

The problem with a slippery slope is that once you normalize lawyers signing off on patient care in one area, it’s not going to stop there. It normalizes doctors consulting lawyers to cover their asses in other areas.  And as has been pointed out, no one in that discussion is advocating for the patient.

And realize, the goal here is to so harass doctors (like the one in IN) that they stop performing even legal abortions.

Who is going to want to set up or join practices in these states?   There will a declining birth rate in these repressive, anti doctor, anti women states.
