How can these doctors live with themselves doing this? They murdered this girl and there will be no consequences.
That's some horseshit blaming the doctors. Blame Republican politicans.
Multiple parties can be responsible for something
Doctors see it as triage. If they step in and help her then how many patients will die because they were stripped of their license and imprisoned?
I mean, it would make one hell of a protest
That it would
That's a hypothetical situation being used to excuse their cowardice and callousness in my view
Funny thing about life imprisonment. Most people aren't willing to risk it. Maybe you're the one willing to go through 12 years of training to do so though?
For what they did to this poor girl (read the description of her death in the article) they should be facing criminal charges
No that's the standard of care under Texas' new laws. Getting mad at the doctors who won't destroy their own lives is as useless as getting mad at immigrants.
Fucking vote.
I already fucking voted, it didn't do shit. I don't have the power. The doctors did have the power to make a choice to save her life NOW and they chose to let her die in a horrific way. I will not accept some flimsy, ambiguous and untested law as excuse for medical murder.
Then go do the schooling and put your own life on the line.
