Jorge Caballero, MDSpeaking as an anesthesiologist that's spent more time in labor and delivery than most non-obstetricians will spend in their lifetimes, I cannot stress this enough: innocent people will die if mifepristone is outlawed. And it won't be in a few weeks or months— it will happen within hours. Judges should not be practicing medicine. Full stop.
aris@DataDrivenMD thanks for this. People often think of pregnancy as one specific path, when in reality it is a complex condition that takes many twists and turns and requires a wide variety of medical tactics to ensure safety and health. Yet another reason all of these choices should be available for patients and their teams.
