Will states with excessive abortion restrictions be faced with a shortage OB GYN?

Poll - Total Votes: 14

Yes

I don’t care

You can only vote on one answer.

“One large medical recruiting firm said it recently had 20 obstetrician-gynecologists turn down positions in red states because of abortion laws. The reluctance extends beyond those interested in providing abortion care, as laws meant to protect a fetus could open doctors up to new liabilities or limit their ability to practice.”

It’s very possible. Some doctors don’t perform abortions, by their own decision, not because it’s prohibited. The ones who support choice are unlikely to want restrictions that might a drive a woman to have a substandard procedure.

Most likely. I saw somewhere that a hospital in Texas denied a pregnant woman of care because of the abortion laws. It's weird you'd thought that's what they want.
