    Ofcourse, because OBGYN’s have skills interchangable with any ER doctor. And if a random ER doctor ends up with a dead baby, mother or both… off to jail!

    These doctors went to medical school to learn to make medical decissions. And now they have hospital lawyers telling them, certain decissions will land them in jail. So their only option is, move states, leaving mothers and babies without the care they need.

    The lawmakers interjected their beliefs into medical care and now everyone is paying the price. And because people don’t like that, they blame the doctors. Accusing the doctors of moral cowardice, to avoid having to deal with the fact that they themselves are complicit in these deaths.

      Internal bleeding due to a miscarriage is something that can be diagnosed and treated by an er doc. It doesn’t take a specialized practice and is fairly common.

        So, if medical professionals tell you this is risky for them as they might go to jail, because medicine is not an exact science, you know better?

        The professionals tell you it’s not easy, and risky to their freedom, you’d better believe them.

          I have no doubt that’s true. Nothing the state, like Texas, would like to do more than put a medical doctor on trial. Nonetheless, there are things that are right and things that are wrong. Letting a woman die by refusing treatment cannot be right. Not right morally if nothing else. So many here want to provide or parrot an excuse that they use.
