I think the GOP did that themselves last year in regards to the 10 year old girl who had to cross state lines into Indiana to get an abortion.
And don't forget the "life of the mother" exceptions in places like Texas that can only be triggered if the woman is actively dying. If she's not close enough to death, it is still "carry it to term or else."
Hey, but the doctor and all the medical staff could bet their medical licenses that the legal gray area would favor them in a particular case.
Of course it might be harder to practice medicine after the hospital execs consult with legal and fire your ass.
But hey, there's an off chance that legally you could get away with saving the life of the mother before death was imminent. Well, depending on the judge in Texas that day.

Its also going to be hard to practice medicine when a distraught husband pays a visit to your office to discuss why you let their wife die. It's Texas, too. So not only will a doctor have to get yelled at and threatened, he will be yelled at and threatened by the hysterically upset and armed man in his office who has nothing to lose.
Remember they were trying to push that moron Herschel Walker on people? That idiot straight up said that no exceptions were acceptable for abortion
I mean I could post the quotes of him supporting a no-exception national abortion ban and the quote of him saying that if he really paid for an abortion that there's no shame in that. But that's low hanging fruit. Instead, I'm just going for the fruit that already fell on the ground:
I have so many questions about the school he went to where he was in the top 1%.
He didn't even graduate. He wasn't smart when he entered UGA and after 2 decades of football, he has that football brain injury thing.
Jesus, that good air / bad air quote was hard to read. If I'm following him, and I might have too many braincells to do this correctly, he's arguing that we shouldn't have clean air because then someone else might benefit from our clean air? So we should just pollute the shit out of our air, because then at least the Chinese won't have a shot at getting any of our sweet, sweet clean air?
That's like saying you're not going to put indoor plumbing in your house, because your neighbor might not put indoor plumbing in their house. And if they're going to live up to their necks in shit, you'll be god-damned if you're not gonna live neck-deep in your own shit too! Otherwise, if you weren't absolutely drowning in your own shit, there's a chance that you might catch a whiff of your neighbor's shit, and ain't no way are you gonna let that happen.
Herschel Walker reminds me of Floyd whetherton from family guy

100% him. God damn that is some funny shit.
What are you doing? Either use the slur without the censor, or don't use it at all. If you censor you're acknowledging that you know you shouldn't be using it and then you decided to do it anyway. Either own it or be better, you can't do both.
He did it so ppl like you would stfu and not get all pedantic about it but apparently u just can't help yourself can you?
Oh, that is not pedantry, that there is the advice that one can't have it both ways and use a slur while at the same time insulting the reader's intelligence by pretending "oh, I didn't use a slur, I made that one letter look different."
Hey it's not my fault you don't know what pedantic means, don't take it out on me.
Pretty sure Hannity is one of the Faux News shows Indiana's AG was going on lying about it too
