If you had to choose the possibility of a murder charge and capital punishment for following your oath or simply not, why would anyone opt for the former?
Shocker. Who could have seen this coming?!
Me! I did!
How long until one of those GOP dipshits tries to pass a law to require that Doctors cannot leave their states?
Have you ever seen a libertarian screeching about how regulations and licensing is the sole determining factor making medical care expensive? I think Repubs will remove medical licensing.
Otherwise banning travel between states is too unconstitutional even at the current corruption level of SCOTUS. Maybe if they can get another couple of Clarences they could do it.
I doubt it will come to this. Instead what they will do is pass laws so that mid level providers can legally practice like physicians. Just make physicians unnecessary. Hospitals love it because PAs are way cheaper to employ. Everyone wins (except for the patient but we don’t need to think about that).
We already have a dire shortage of medical practitioners, especially in rural areas. And some of the states with these bans have a lot of rural areas.
Soon we’ll need Doctors Without Borders to start operations within the US.
They’d get shot trying to cross.
To be fair, it’s a French organization I believe. So we are an international area they could send aide to
I thought they already were going to send their ships to the US Gulf coast?
My sister is overseas and planning to come back stateside in a few years. She wanted to move back to Texas to be close to the rest of the family but says, "I can't risk living in Texas if I want to have more kids". My friend's gyno gave her the hard sell on having her tubes tied recently, because there's nothing that can be done for her if she gets pregnant. I know a guy who works in a Houston ER, who is getting increasingly weird policies from his administrators when it comes to treating pregnant patients, because nobody wants to risk taking on liability for a miscarriage or still birth.
These are all the "unforeseen" consequences of the new abortion laws. And it certainly doesn't help that states with shit abortion laws already had 50-300% higher maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates before these laws were passed.
The so-called pro-life agenda is directly leading to few people having kids and more people losing access to health care.
Pro-Life is going to get a ton of people killed.
This-- will just get worse: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/07/health/maternity-units-closing/index.html
“Elections have consequences”
This particular article though- their seventh child? fucking chill.
It feels like Republicans have realized the only way to retake a majority vote is to ensure the maximum number of deaths; aka a culling.
Followed by waiting out a generation of unnecessary/preventable deaths in the working class, and ensure the next generations are even worse uninformed. Leaving few aware of how the world used to be.
Thankfully, a brave select few are driving our species off a cliff. So, our industrial age will be a plastic skid-mark in the underwear of Earth’s fossil record for the next major species to find. /s
I guess the degens should go fuck themselves with a wad of rubles.
I wish it only harmed degens. This utterly predictable consequence makes medical care even more inaccessible in those states. Mostly for disadvantaged women, many of whom voted against this shit.
Yep. Sad. Repubs have always been about oppressing women.
Its more the reverse.
US anti-abortion hysteria bled into Russian politics over the last decade. A country that had some of the most progressive women's health care laws in the world has been rolling them back at a rapid clip, thanks to lobbying from western evangelicals and their billionaire white nationalist sponsors.
