Hospitals and healthcare workers are not getting enough scrutiny on this issue. Ultimately, the fault lies with Trump and the Supreme Court. They made the policy change which has led to the preventable deaths of women. But it’s also true that it is a doctor’s job to help people, and waiting until women are near death to provide treatment because they fear legal exposure is antithetical to the job that every reasonable person expects them to do.

I understand that being a doctor is hard, and that they are faced with incredibly difficult decisions every day. But if a woman is bleeding out in front of you, it’s literally your job to try to save her, immediately. Waiting for her to get worse, for even a minute, is immoral and not what patients expect of their doctors.

Republicans on Tuesday assailed the hearing, with outright denials about the impact abortion laws have on the medical care women in the U.S. have received, and called the hearing a politically-motivated attack just weeks ahead of the presidential election. Republicans, who are noticeably nervous about how the new abortion laws will play into the presidential race, lodged repeated complaints about the hearing’s title, “How Trump Criminalized Women’s Health Care.”

If you're worried about how your policy will look like at time of election as it will be overwhelmingly unpopular than maybe don't defend it and change policies?

Wake up people the GOP is going to get women to die because of lack of care.

Thing that everyone joked about (to mentally handle the horror) that was definitely going to really happen, happens.

Better late then never to stop it from happening I guess.

lol. Don’t ask the emergency room. Ask your politicians.

"Hey, I'm making laws that puts you in prison if you helped certain people, but then question you when you don't help them". Best logic ever.

WoP shits are killing women over their misguided imbecilic christojihad. The only ban should be on anything to do with these draconian monsters with no ethics. They will be stoning people, legalizing biblical slavery, and outlawing interest based lending as usury next because they depend upon draconian stupidity for logic.

Can't the Feds play Supremacy clause and ensure any drs are immune from this bullshit?
