In February, a group of students, residents and faculty surveyed 2,063 licensed and trainee physicians and found that 82 percent want to work or train in states that retain abortion accessâand 76 percent would refuse to apply in states that restrict it. (The respondents worked in a mix of specialties; for those whose work would include performing abortions, the proportion intending to work where it remains legal soared above 99 percent.)
Then in April, a study from the Association of American Medical Colleges drawing on the first round of applications to residency programs after Dobbs found that ob-gyn applications in states with abortion restrictions sank by 10 percent compared to the previous year. Applications to all ob-gyn programs dropped by 5 percent. (Nationwide, all applications to residency went down 2 percent from 2021 to 2022.)
Last month, two preliminary pieces of research presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists uncovered more perturbations. In Texasâwhere the restrictive law SB8 went into effect in September 2021, nine months before Dobbsâa multi-year upward trend in applications to ob-gyn residency slowed after the law passed. And in an unrelated national survey, 77 percent of 494 third- and fourth-year medical students said that abortion restrictions would affect where they applied to residency, while 58 percent said they were unlikely to apply to states with a ban.

They don't care. All they'll say is that older women shouldn't be having babies. If women don't go to college and they start having babies when they leave school, the maternal and infant mortality rate will be lower. Educated women are competing for what they consider to be men's jobs.
I know dead women are a feature, not a bug, for the anti-abortion group, but looking at the uptick even in young women should give some of them pauseâŚ
Should, but wonât. I mean it when I say that women arenât people in the GOP. They donât care.
This is 100% correct. Women are dispensable vessels and if they die from childbirth, thatâs their fate. they are not people. They are livestock.
