Abortion Bans Are Driving Off Doctors and Closing Clinics, Putting Basic Health Care at Risk [Absolute BS Alert!]
KFF Health News ^ | May 24, 2023 | Julie Rovner

Posted on 06/09/2023 6:00:07 PM PDT by fwdude

The rush in conservative states to ban abortion after the overturn of Roe v. Wade is resulting in a startling consequence that abortion opponents may not have considered: fewer medical services available for all women living in those states.

Doctors are showing — through their words and actions — that they are reluctant to practice in places where making the best decision for a patient could result in huge fines or even a prison sentence. And when clinics that provide abortions close their doors, all the other services offered there also shut down, including regular exams, breast cancer screenings, and contraception.

Utter garbage. As if no other doctors provide actual HEALTH services.

I don't consider so-called "doctors" who murder unborn babies to be legitimate doctors, so good riddance.

Killing babies is not basic health care.

If today’s Democrat press was around in 1946 Germany they’d tell us how unhealthy it is for the Jews now that the Holocaust is over.

Very few regular doctors do abortions.

Abortionists almost exclusively do abortions.

The whole “do no harm” and the staining of personal reputation.

And just stop the bs about “all the other services”. That’s not what PP or other murder mills are about or how they get their funds.

Driving off doctors? What? If they can’t murder babies they are just going to take in their shingle?

Abortion is murder, not health care.

My wife has been going to a OB/GYB for over 50 years, annual appointments and routine diagnostics. Not once has one of those appointments been about getting an abortion.

I'm sure there are millions just like her that go to a real OB/GYN doctor, not a planned parenthood abortion mill disguised as a women's wellness center.

...all the other services offered there also shut down...

There was never any real service except abortion.

Planned Parenthood Out of Cancer Screening Program

In fiscal year 2014, Planned Parenthood served 2,938 of the 33,635 total women who received services from BCCS providers — about 9 percent.
That year, Planned Parenthood clinics received a combined $1.2 million in funding for providing Texas women with a total of 910 clinical breast exams, 278 mammograms and 1,854 Pap smears.

Break it down to cost per patient...3042 patients, 1.2 mil.
Women knew they were for abortions. Women usually went to regular clinics/doctors/OBGYN for those things.

Who wants to hear the neighborhood gossip at the next women's meeting say...I heard through the grapevine you were down at the abortion clinic...

They have to keep the parade going even though everyone knows the Emperor has no clothes.

Now, Karen, it was just for a breast exam, nothing more.

Karen, the busybody, thinking to herself...riiiiight. Wait till Carol hears about this.

PP is on record admitting that they don't actually perform mammograms, but they only refer patients to other doctors for that. I'm sure that's also the case for most other legitimate health services. Maybe PP can take someones temperature, though, when they aren't murdering babies.

Indeed He has. The great white throne awaits them. I don’t gloat over that, but they earned it.
