    Ofcourse, because OBGYN’s have skills interchangable with any ER doctor. And if a random ER doctor ends up with a dead baby, mother or both… off to jail!

    These doctors went to medical school to learn to make medical decissions. And now they have hospital lawyers telling them, certain decissions will land them in jail. So their only option is, move states, leaving mothers and babies without the care they need.

    The lawmakers interjected their beliefs into medical care and now everyone is paying the price. And because people don’t like that, they blame the doctors. Accusing the doctors of moral cowardice, to avoid having to deal with the fact that they themselves are complicit in these deaths.

      Internal bleeding due to a miscarriage is something that can be diagnosed and treated by an er doc. It doesn’t take a specialized practice and is fairly common.
