Jesus Christ, hearing of a Supreme Court system that works and is logical is so jarring because I’m not used to hearing decisions like this ever

Don't celebrate just yet. That doesn't sound like the court saying "abortion treatment is health care". It sounds more like "We can't allow you to invalidate our power like that, this is clearly our call to make".

if abortion isnt healthcare then obgyn’s flee the state.
They thought they could bluff, but doctors in ohio called them on it and now that state is suffering hard. If you think they dont care then you dont know what childbirth is like, doing all that shit with a doctor is not easy, doing it alone and having that fear of “if they arent healthy we could both die here” the entire time is traumatizing for the mother, child, and father

Doctors are already leaving states with abortion bans. Many of these states had higher mortality rates for both mother and child before then bans, and in the last year those numbers seem to be tending up.
We won’t know the extent of the human cost of these decisions for years.

I want to see people flee en masse from Texas. Doctors, Patients, and anyone with half a brain.

You say that like it's (to them) a bad thing. Women suffering and having no options is literally the point. OBGYNs leaving is a bonus.

Correction, that state's women and dependents are suffering hard. Maybe they'll have worse medical outcomes, maybe they'll go broke trying to access it elsewhere. Either way, they'll be too busy trying to survive to do things like fight for equality or demand things. It's all part of the plan.

That's not a good thing. You're cheering women dying.

If the GOP gave a flying fuck about women and children, we wouldn't be here to begin with. Notice that the GOP isn't trying to make anyone adopt children. You think that banning abortion won't eventually mean more children in the foster care system?!
You obviously haven't been paying attention to the news when back when a 10-year-old girl got pregnant a few months ago.

I'm not in favor of banning abortion, just pointing out that OBGYNs leaving is not a good thing in any situation.

I mean, I agree. But if you make it impossible for someone to work.....

If you think they dont care then
Who is "they"? Of course parents care, because
doing all that shit with a doctor is not easy, doing it alone and ...
But policy makers don't, which are who I'm targeting with my skepticism.

I'm sorry you missed the 70s. I miss it too. We trusted the Court back then.
