Poland’s Law and Justice Party tried this and now they’ve lost power. If competitive elections survive in the US, the backlash will arrive.
Until then, it’s going to be rough.

For a political party, you’d think the Democrats would be better at politics but no.
This is a stone around the necks of all Republicans. Exactly zero Republicans voted for human rights. Exactly zero Republicans have come out forcefully against Project 2025. Every Republican is as bad as another because the only time they find any backbone is on their way out the door.

The finding itself is self-contradictory. Says a doctor shouldn't need to consult a court for permission to perform an abortion they deem medically necessary in their judgement while simultaneously denying an abortion the doctor deemed medically necessary.
I assume that’s deliberate. They don’t want to clog up the courts with cases — so they’ll leave it up to each doctor’s discretion. Of course there will not be specific medical guidelines provided to the physicians, just less than clear legal ones. That way they can fine, arrest, harass, yank the licenses from the physicians AFTER they’ve performed abortions. Since there are no explicit guidelines, it will be quite easy for the non-medical people who will get to decide such things to deem anything they want to as being not “medically necessary” — especially if the patient survives the procedure. Of course if the patient doesn’t survive, then that’s a whole different set of potential fines and law suits. Either way, the OB-Gyns will be screwed. So many will move to other states, thus reducing the availability of medical professionals available to provide abortions. Of course it also reduces the number of professionals available to provide medical care for women’s needs. Oh well. I’m sure they thought this through.
Is there data reflecting an exit of OB-GYN doctors from Texas and the likes?

I am not sure why you think that. We already know Alito, Thomas, Barret and Kavanaugh are fully on board. Roberts is a social conservative.
