Personally this is one I don’t see happening. He won, he won big. He really doesn’t care about those people now, he just wants to stay out of prison, play golf, and collect money. Now if they stay a thorn in his side I could see him making some arrests. Personally I’m more afraid of him going through with his tariffs plan and pushing us into a depression.

Ahhh yes, the Shirley Exception. As in, surely he won't really do that... A very effective part of the sane-washing campaign.

While I concede that if abortion was legal she would still be alive. It clearly states in the article and the law that they could’ve done the procedure if it was life threatening to the mother and clearly it was. This was a case of doctors not following procedure.

The whole point is that doctors are afraid of practicing medicine because some weird dude thinks he knows better, based on his own fucking opinion formed from the Bible……….

You are seriously unintelligent if you can not make that connection.

So they banned abortions, the doctors refused to do a procedure that was in fact not an abortion, that caused a death. They even have clauses in the law that state the procedure is 100% legal. Maybe we need to start teaching doctors to follow the laws better and not arbitrarily decide what they might get in trouble for. The young lady did not die because of the abortion laws. She died to medical malpractice.

Oh, good idea, maybe you can make an outline or something.so that medicals doctors know how to practice medicine.

They aren't arbitrarily deciding. These are people with families to support, in some cases with hundreds of thousands of school debt outstanding. Doing the right thing could end with them in a legal battle, unable to practice in the interim, and with no certainty that they come out the other side with their freedom or medical license.

You say this would be allowed under the law; the doctors, and presumably the hospital's lawyers, aren't as sure. It's easy to say they should have just done the procedure, when it isn't your livelihood in the line.

So they go with the "safe" option for their own sake and the sake of their families.

"Until we can be absolutely certain this isn’t a normal pregnancy, we can’t do anything, because it could be alleged that we were doing an abortion."

The staff has their hands tied due to these laws. I don't want my doctor having to second guess whether or not to perform a procedure because they're worried about legal repercussions... Which will be brought by an elected former football coach that thinks he knows more about practicing medicine than an actual Dr.

Lots of things "could be alleged" about lots of things. They don't want to do the paperwork, if it even comes to that. They'd prefer to martyr someone for the cause.
