I thought that Dr's were on standby to do this??? If they aren't doing it aren't they in clear violation of the law?

Effective immediately

What is it about "effective immediately" that these people not understand?

I have no idea what is actually going on. However, note Paragraph B, which I've quoted above, especially the part in bold. If the "reasonable judgment of a licensed physician" is that there is no "appropriate" way to do this in her current condition, that could turn out to be a loophole.
