I live in a country where all abortions are banned. This sort of thing doesn't happen here. Do you know why that could be? Time?
Because women that need abortions don't go to regular doctors.
Well they don't do that in Texas either, do they?
In the US, abortions are legal in some states and severely punished in other states. As a result, OB/GYN doctors have been physically moving en masse from the latter states to the former states.
This has left the latter states with an acute shortage of OB/GYNs. And if a hospital does not have an OB/GYN who can treat a patient, they will not admit an OB/GYN patient to the hospital.
But doesn't the article say that there were doctors, but that they refused to perform their job?
The article says that ER doctors wouldn't perform jobs that required OB/GYN training.
In some states you have to be in the process of “life at risk” before treatment now, or the doctor could be jailed. Lots of articles about this, women nearly dying, losing their reproductive organs, etc. It’s all very dehumanizing.
