#Doctors told Mylissa she might die but she couldn’t have an abortion under state law until she got sicker.

The Biden administration says failing to act violates a federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care.

@ProPublica I don't understand how this was legal in Kansas. Abortion is LEGAL in #Kansas. It's been voted in several times here in #Kansas and is protected by #Kansas Supreme Court.

@666k9s @ProPublica Even in states where abortion is legal women get denied if practitioners have a religious or moral objection.

I'm menopausal in a legal state and it's still hellish trying to refill some of my meds that are potential abortifacients.

@ProPublica Gee, who woulda thought this would happen (sarcasm)? Seriously, this is not pro life what is happening, no matter how much they continue to dress it up that way.

I gotta admit, #Republican politicians really are shitty #Luddites who want their god to rule the world.

That's why I'm a #Democrat. Because, who wants a fake sky daddy ruling over them? #Ahem.

@ProPublica things are getting ansolutely insane. The fed needs to deny federal money to all red states. Call it the “freedom of states act” or something. Dont take or give federal taxes/funding. Then when they fall apart and come begging make them get the fuck in line, follow the fucking rules of human decency, or die off like shoulda happened 100years ago.

@ProPublica and the GOP is so proud that the hospitals and physicians are in trouble, and not the politicians that created the situation. GOP lacks shame.

I can see it getting even worse. Some doctors in these States are going to have to get into it. Carry out the necessary surgery and fight the State in court.

@Kryten @ProPublica the problem is their insurance won't let them and or won't cover them if this happens. And it's already insanely expensive (I know several people who changed tracks away from OBGYN in school because it's so expensive)
