This has already been covered. Any Dr too scared to read and interpret a law needs to give up their license because they’re pushing a political agenda. If you don’t want to get pregnant it’s quite easy even if you don’t use contraceptives. Mistaken pregnancies need to go back to health class.

The hospitals turn women in trouble away instructing them to come back in a comma or something. Not sure what can be done.

  maybe being actually dying or at risk of dying from a pregnancy? look the entire point is to stop voluntary abortions, which make up like 98% of all abortions. most abortions are optional. nobody is against medically required abortions, not even religious people. give up already on the old and invalidated arguments.

        Wow that is some serious goal post shifting. From “nobody is against medically required abortions, not even religious people” to “a very small minority being affected has no repercussions”. Of course you will not be convinced.

If you've dealt with human behavior at scale at all you know that more friction produces less activity. Of course doctors are going to deny treatment if it's treatment that comes with special legal scrutiny. Of course a new layer of legal review and approval is going to suppress the service that gets locked behind it.

The laws in question are ambiguously worded and untested-yet in courts. They promise severe financial penalties and prison terms for offenders. I don't blame a doctor for being scared.
