@gsymon It’s a good thing the Guardian is covering this, since US MSM are too cowardly to do so.

“Six of Idaho’s initial nine maternal fetal medicine specialists have abandoned the state or retired since the abortion ban, with almost one in four of all OB-GYNs leaving.
“To have to move state to be able to practice medicine … I did not expect that in modern-day America,” [Dr] Cooper said.”

"For the hardline conservatives ruling Poland and Hungary, the transition from communism to liberal democracy was a mirage. They fervently believe a more decisive break with the past is needed to achieve national liberation"—The Guardian Long

The #Trump admin on Wed moved to drop an #EmergencyAbortion case in #Idaho.

The #DOJ filed a motion to #dismiss the lawsuit, which was originally filed by the #Biden admin, in a reversal that could have national implications for #UrgentCare.

The suit had argued that #ER #doctors treating #pregnant women had to provide terminations if needed to save their lives or to avoid serious #health consequences in ID, which has one of the country’s strictest #AbortionBans.

I've spent most of the past 2wks writing blog articles for a law firm that handles malpractice cases (I am Not A Lawyer & nothing you see here is legal advice). USUALLY, when doctors fail to apply the #StandardOfCare for XYZ condition, they are susceptible to accusations of negligence (would still have to be proven in court, obvs). #AbortionBans like these throw medical best practices out the window & leave #healthcare pros to practice CYA instead.

“It’s black and white in the law, but it’s very vague when you're in the moment,” said Dr. Tony Ogburn, an OB- GYN in San Antonio. When the fetus has a heartbeat, doctors can’t simply follow the usual evidence-based guidelines, he said. Instead, there is a legal obligation to assess whether a woman’s condition is dire enough to merit an abortion under a prosecutor’s interpretation of the law.

US have driven a surge in infant deaths, study finds. An estimated 5.6% more infants died than would have done if the bans weren't imposed. That increase amounted to 478 extra deaths, in total. Black people were disproportionately affected.

New York doctor indicted for prescribing #AbortionPill in #Louisiana

By SARA CLINE and GEOFF MULVIHILL
Updated 2:53 PM EST, January 31, 2025

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

The federal abortion ban bill is here. "Leave it to the states" was, of course, a smokescreen.

Um... Proving again that #ProBirth is NOT #ProLife!

In states that ban #abortion, #SocialSafetyNet programs often fail families

By LAURA UNGAR and KIMBERLEE KRUESI, December 27, 2024

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — "Taylor Cagnacci moved from California to Tennessee with hopes of starting a new chapter in a state that touts a low cost of living and natural beauty.

"But she’s infuriated by Tennessee’s meager social services, which leave her and many other moms struggling in a state where abortion is banned with limited exceptions.

"'I was going to have my child no matter what, but for other women, that’s kind of a crappy situation that they put you in,' said Cagnacci, a 29-year-old Kingsport mom who relies on #Medicaid and a federally funded nutrition program. 'You have to have your child. But where’s the assistance afterward?'

"Tennessee has a porous safety net for mothers and young children, recent research and an analysis by The Associated Press found. It’s unknown how many women in the state have given birth because they didn’t have access to abortion, but it is clear that from the time a Tennessee woman gets pregnant, she faces greater obstacles to a #HealthyPregnancy, a #HealthyChild and a financially stable family than the average

"Like other states with strict abortion bans, Tennesseans of childbearing age are more likely to live in maternal care deserts and face overall doctor shortages. Women, infants and children are less likely to be enrolled in a government nutrition program known as #WIC. And Tennessee is one of only 10 states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid to a greater share of low-income families."

repuglicans are hiding the number of maternal deaths they're causing as a direct result of their dystopian instagram.com/reel/DDiFo_ZSgz6

The states of #Texas and #Florida are literally covering up maternal deaths and destroying proof that #abortionbans are killing women. #GOPCorruption

Republicans don't care if women are dying from abortion bans -- but they're covering up maternal deaths, regardless:

"Manatt surveyed hundreds of ob-gyns in #Texas to examine the impact of #abortionbans. Seventy-six per cent of respondents said that they could no longer treat patients in accordance with evidence-based medicine. Twenty-one per cent said that they were either considering leaving the state or already planning to do so; thirteen per cent had decided to retire early."
