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.
Will we see more such cases all over these anti-abortion states?
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.
I live in Virginia. My OBGYN performed my abortion (several shots of methotrexate for an ectopic). Of course I wasn't referred to PP.
Because it was ectopic. You don’t see the difference?
You do know that several red states are not allowing exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, right?
Lucky for the PP, SCOTUS hadn't overturned R v W in 2018 when they needed abortion.
I'm the PP who had the ectopic. It was a VERY much wanted pregnancy (FET). It would have killed me, and left my older DD motherless.
You'd rather die?
Which state bans treatment for ectopic pregnancies? Show me the law, not a “what-if” opinion piece. I’ll wait.
People give examples of this actually happening, right now, at the behest of the hospital lawyers reading the law. You’ll never come back and admit that we’re right, you’re wrong and women are in danger.

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.
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.
Abortion of a healthy pregnancy is NOT the same medically.
“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.”

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.

Tennessee’s ban on abortions became law after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in June, when a new majority on the court overturned abortion protections enshrined by Roe v. Wade nearly a half-century earlier. The state’s so-called “trigger law,” enacted in 2019, banned all versions of the procedure. And unfortunately for Sarah, the law kicked in just days before she arrived in the emergency room.
Vanderbilt’s lawyers were grappling with language that made providing an abortion a class C felony and subject to both a $10,000 fine and significant prison time. There was a provision for doctors to act, but they were required to make an affirmative defense to prosecution — i.e., they had to admit that they were in violation of the law, but that the mother’s life would be in jeopardy if they did not perform the abortion.
Indeed, inserted into Sarah’s charts are roughly 20 paragraphs of language detailing measures that Vanderbilt doctors had taken in order to provide a legal rationale for an abortion. According to Lipsitz, the area’s hospitals had begun preparing for just this kind of eventuality in June because ectopic pregnancies are not uncommon. An estimated 1 to 2 percent of all pregnancies are ectopic, meaning that in a state like Tennessee — which had 78,689 births in 2020 — somewhere between 780 and 1,570 women per year deal with a situation similar to Sarah’s.
Some lawmakers are beginning to express regret at passing a law that includes no exceptions for rape or incest and places the burden on doctors to defend their actions. Some voted for the law never expecting that it would be put in place, including state Sen. Richard Briggs (R-Knoxville).
“Here, the defendant is guilty until he can prove that he’s not guilty,” said Briggs, a Republican and retired heart surgeon, in an interview with ProPublica in November. “In my opinion, that is a very bad position to put the doctors in — why should this doctor have to pay his own legal bills for saving a woman’s life?”

oh honey, no one ever thinks they need an abortion until they do. I will never need an abortion now. I'm in menopause. But, I have a DD. If she ever needs an abortion, she has my support. I'm thankful to live in a state where the politicians and residents actually are pro-life for the mom.
BTW, I used to be anti-abortion. I grew up conservative and religious. It wasn't until I had children that I understood that life decisions like these are not black and white. I also finally understood that those religious people who are "pro-life" are really just about punishing women for opening up their legs.
