In reply to the discussion: When Roe is overturned, expect OB/GYNs to flee the Red States. [View all]Runningdawg
(4,664 posts)10. We have a lot of evangelical OB-GYNs in OK
Hospitals won't discipline them for refusing to care for patients with an ectopic. They pass them on to the next Dr in line and call it good. But this move will embolden the religiously affiliated hospitals and they may refuse to admit ANY women with a suspected ectopic or in the midst of what MIGHT be a miscarriage. Ambulances may refuse to transport them. OK has already tried several times to give first responders and emergency medical personnel the right to NOT treat LGBTQ or their children. This is their logical next step.

I think of politics as a pendulum. It can only go so far to the left or right.

BRAIN DRAIN is what will happen. Talent will flee. Red states will realize they can't attract high
