Forced to carry a baby to term with no kidneys
-
We’re in NC this weekend and have of course heard a lot about this on the news. It also includes up to 24 weeks for a malformed child and no limit for life of the mother situations. It’s not extreme.

It’s not extreme.
And it is the standard in repressive countries like Latvia, Greece, Germany, Switzerland.....
Funny how that never gets mentioned.

@89th A lot of these post-Dobbs laws were passed in a hurry and are pretty broadly written, so I’m not surprised the doctors wouldn’t take the risk.

On that point, in Idaho:
”Idaho’s murky abortion law is driving doctors out of the state“

How many have actually left?
From what I can see, the article cites one.
ETA:
Miller says five of the nine remaining full-time maternal-fetal medicine physicians in the state will have left by the end of this year.
That's more than a bit deceptive. I found 25 Obstetricians in Idaho right here.
And because there are no ob-gyn residencies in Idaho, finding doctors willing to relocate given the abortion laws on the books is a real challenge.
That may or may not be the case, but there are no anesthesiology residencies in Idaho either, so, there's that.
