The new legislation, prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, comes after 111 Texas doctors signed a public letter urging that the ban be changed because it “does not allow us as medical professionals to do our jobs.”
at this point the doctors need to take matters into their own hands and quit relying on kangaroo courts
there are enough doctors that if most of them just started doing their jobs regardless of government policy something would eventually break and change would occur
Texas happily executes known innocent people. They’ll imprison and execute doctors and nurses without a second thought

They tried that in Idaho. Idaho basically just doubled down in response and now they’re having a crisis because of a lack of OB/GYNs.
The legislature doesn’t care. They’ve lost about 25% of their OB/GYNs already and have done exactly nothing.
Or, doctors could all just stop seeing and treating the legislators and their families.
doctors are supposed to be neutral and treat regardless of sides
You are 100% correct. Where they do have a choice is where to practice. Leave Texas and let them figure it out by themselves. Doctors are not obligated to work in Texas so bleeding the state dry (no pun intended) of medical professionals, it is a strategy the medical field could employ if they choose to do so. Doctors and nurses leaving in droves sends a message. Stating a lack of working conditions due to state enforced measures is a very valid excuse imho.
Never going to happen, I know…
Doctors are allowed to decline patients.
They’re literally facing a prison sentence of 99 years.
Aww that’s so sweet. It will take months to pass -if it does - and will then be struck down by everybody’s favorite Texas trump judge.
