[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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.[/quote]

I live in Virginia.  My OBGYN performed my abortion (several shots of methotrexate for an ectopic).  Of course I wasn't referred to PP.[/quote]

When was this?[/quote]

2018[/quote]

Not relevant in a post Roe America[/quote]

Please show me where Virginia has placed further restrictions on abortions since Roe fell.
I know the GOP here has tried, but it hasn't succeeded yet.[/quote]
You are correct for now but only because the Democrats have a very slim majority in the state Senate. Pick a candidate or two to support in 2023 to keep it that way.[/quote]
