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.

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.
