Summary

An Idaho doctor testified that confusion over the state’s strict abortion bans left a miscarrying patient “passed around like a hot potato” as doctors avoided treating her out of fear of legal consequences.

The 14-week pregnant woman, suffering heavy bleeding and anemia, was denied care during three ER visits before being admitted against hospital rules, miscarrying, and requiring a blood transfusion.

The testimony is part of a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s abortion laws, which ban most abortions with few exceptions, leaving patients in dangerous situations without timely care.

    Matricide is too fancy a word.

    Give it something simpler and more outrageous, like “Killing Moms Law” and talk about the Trump death panels who chose this.

      Nah you gotta balance the number of syllables in each word to make it catchy. “Dead Moms Law” or “Mommy Murder Law”
