15. I have not heard Vance's comments on it.

I also have not heard the RW self-serving defenses that blame medical personnel.

There is no question that the misogynistic laws are to blame for the fear of acting that doctors face.

But, in other cases of women being denied treatment until their condition was clearly life threatening, medical personnel have given delayed treatment in time to save the women's lives. So my question is why did that hospital delay treatment until it was impossible to save her life? Is it because she is Black? Is it because the complications developed as a result of an abortion?

I understand that doctors don't want to give up their years of expensive education and training, plus years of freedom if incarcerated, but is there a doctor anywhere willing to risk that in the name of saving a human life? The prosecution of such a case would be national and international news. It might clearly highlight the injustice of expecting a doctor to not save a life in a timely manner.

No law that forbids a doctor from saving someone's life can be constitutional.
