[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]

It’s not “of course”. I thought the same the earlier PP did because when I needed mine my OBGYN office was like of course we don’t do that! I went to PP. [/quote]

Point being that no, Planned Parenthood isn't the sole abortion provider in VA, and some OBGYN practices (as well as some MFMs) handle that medical care.[/quote]

Abortion of a healthy pregnancy is NOT the same medically.[/quote]

[b]“Ms. Hall, 28, said many of her relatives and neighbors considered themselves “pro-life” and believed there was a “loophole” if the fetus had a fatal condition. And many of her friends did not understand that the procedure she obtained at a clinic outside Seattle, dilation and curettage, was the same as an abortion.

“A lot of them are in support of this ban, but they don’t understand the scale of it,” she said. “They had this very narrow idea of what somebody who seeks an abortion looks like. They think it’s somebody who’s loose, who doesn’t want to take birth control.”[/b]

They told you what they planned to do, but you and your anti abortion be friends didn't think it would apply to you --but it does. Thoughts and prayers. Maybe you will vote differently next time, if there ever is a next time. [/quote]
