    If this passes, not only will people die from complications in states that enact total bans, those states will also hemorrhage maternal and fetal health care providers.

    People won’t just return to back-alley abortions, many will be forced to go back to birthing at home. Republicans want the 1950s. They’re gonna end up with the 1750s.

      Big facts. My friend is an ob/gyn. We’re in NC, on paper we don’t have a total ban but in practice it amounts to one. He’s currently commuting to VA to work because he doesn’t want to get sued, prosecuted, or watch patients almost die before he can treat them. shakes head
