The hospitals turn women in trouble away instructing them to come back in a comma or something. Not sure what can be done.

maybe being actually dying or at risk of dying from a pregnancy?

look the entire point is to stop voluntary abortions, which make up like 98% of all abortions. most abortions are optional. nobody is against medically required abortions, not even religious people.

give up already on the old and invalidated arguments.

You sound rational, but the actual implications of the policy execution are brutal. As a father of a girl I am inconsolable.

Sorry you’ve not convinced me. I am rational and that’s why I don’t believe that a very small minority being affected has any real or major repercussions. people need to just stop killing babies because they don’t want them

Wow that is some serious goal post shifting. From “nobody is against medically required abortions, not even religious people” to “a very small minority being affected has no repercussions”.

Of course you will not be convinced.

If you've dealt with human behavior at scale at all you know that more friction produces less activity. Of course doctors are going to deny treatment if it's treatment that comes with special legal scrutiny. Of course a new layer of legal review and approval is going to suppress the service that gets locked behind it.

so then they need to quit. we don’t need weak minded people as Drs.

The laws in question are ambiguously worded and untested-yet in courts. They promise severe financial penalties and prison terms for offenders. I don't blame a doctor for being scared.

they are not. this is a political perspective.
