So, this pretty much eliminates the need to go to hospitals for birth, yeah? I mean it sounds like they’re just gonna let you die anyway. Time for a Doula revolution
Eliminates the need? More like eliminates the option.
Obstetricians are leaving the state in droves (because their job has become an increasingly risky legal obstacle course), and hospitals are shutting down their birthing centers (because they don’t have obstetricians to see patients).
Plus the droves of idiots who actually agree with this shit, whether through honest belief or indoctrination.
Story time! My friend’s cousin gave birth to a child with no brain. It had a rudimentary brain stem but literally had no brain. Her doctors knew this early on and suggested she abort as it had a 0% chance of survival. She was staunchly anti-abortion and declined, going on about how God meant her to have this child. So she carried it to term and actually managed to keep it alive for a few weeks, telling anyone who listened that it was her miracle baby. It would roll its eyes around and twitch at random. Surprising no one, it soon died. She was crushed as she thought it was getting better. Somehow. Magic I guess.
This is what American christofascist indoctrination does to people. It’s like the Handmaid’s Tale but everyone is 50% stupider.

True but if you don’t go, you don’t have to pay them to do nothing taps temple
Who will be left in these shithole states?
People who don’t have the means to relocate elsewhere.
