They are threatened to be held responsible and imprisoned for helping a woman abort
In my country medical professionals that help induce an abortion can be imprisoned for 4-10 years. Nonetheless, the thing described in the article doesn't happen. It must be something else.
I'm assuming it because the legal liabilities are unknowns at this point and nobody wants to take the plunge to find out. The US "Justice" system is pretty fucked to say the least.
Yeah that makes sense.
And in your country I presume the law applies to the entire country, doesn't vary by state, and wasn't put into effect in very recent history.
After 10 or 20 years there will be enough legal precedent in each state that doctors and hospitals can formulate policies which will probably keep them safe from prosecution. Right now, they don't have that capability, because everything is so new. And the only way to find out whether their actions are legal is to try them and see if they get charged and see what the courts say.
It's important to keep in mind that the states with strict laws against abortion are run by Republicans who really don't care about the doctors or the women. It's not like the laws are perfectly crafted to guarantee that patients receive the best possible medical care.
In that case, do you expect these cases to go away with time? Ideally, abortion becomes legal again, but if it doesn't will time make things at least a little better?
Well what i described is whats here on texas. Dipshit legislator capital of the u.s.
It has some serious competition.
