Remember, these people already had it in them. They couldn't do this before, they don't have to do this, but they still do. Fuck both these doctors and the dumbfucks who signed these laws.
Don't the doctors have to do this or go to prison?
Well, sort of. If it's like 50% survival rate, it's kind of forced, but saying "there is a slight chance of survival, denied" is kind of on the doctor. I'd wager he could say "she would die if she continues, abort the pregnancy" and most ppl would agree.
Probably his butcheeks are tightened due to fear of going to prison by having someone else examine her and say its good to go? Not sure, it's fucked up anyway.
Most likely, the whole system is corrupt through and through. Who knows, maybe they are getting paid extra for this, or receive benefits.
In the end, it's money in the pockets of those companies.
Remember, Obamacare killed private practice through standards of care and handouts to insurance companies. It came out of the heritage foundation after all... Everything that comes from there is evil
The doctors probably work for a health system that has decided the policy. It's not even risking their job or freedom, it'd take a conspiracy of people doing so to succeed
