It could be very easily argued that "could deteriorate rapidly" is not a medical emergency, and therefore does not meet the requirements of the MO or federal laws to allow for inducing labor or abortion.

Given the overzealous rhetoric from state officials, I understand the hospital and doctor's reluctance to provide care. We are fucking ourselves.
