Rules like this have been specifically created to reduce access to Abortion Centres.
See Tennessee, and Texas for similarly challenged/contested rules.
Between those two states, I believe there are a total of 4 abortion centres with doctors with admitting privliges. The hospitals in the regions don't want to have abortion doctors on staff, as it's a bad image for the hospital in these regions. So, the access to abortion has been reduced massively.
Planned Parenthood has been under attack for a couple of decades now. It's not going to be long before it's just gone.
Repubs might want to slow down or they'll run out of places to send their mistresses to when they force them to get abortions.
Dont worry, they'll never run out of cheap hostels and wire coat hangers
Real clinics might leave a paper trail
it'll also probably lead to a doubling in the rate of abortion-related deaths, but that's probably pseudoscience or "the will of God as punishment for your sins" according to most every hardline republican there is.
child mortality and child birth related deaths are on the rise in FREEDOMLAND due to among other things, these shitty laws that are even affecting normal pregnancy healthcare for low income people
The law, passed in 2015, says that any physician who "gives, sells, dispenses, administers, or otherwise provides or prescribes the abortion-inducing drug" shall have to have a contract with a physician who has admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
So I know that Republicans focus with abortion laws is to try to make it as difficult as possible to get an abortion, but how exactly does this prohibit abortion-inducing medication from being sold? What's the roadblock? Is it really that hard to get such a contract or is the contract prohibitively expensive?
I imagine the roadblock would be finding a physician willing to provide said contract. Unless there's something saying one must be issued, which I highly doubt, that right there could be seen as a de facto ban. They can trumpet how it isn't illegal, you just need a contract with a physician - but good luck finding a willing one.
I don't know if that's actually the case, but I feel like it isn't that far-fetched.
