Doctors see it as triage. If they step in and help her then how many patients will die because they were stripped of their license and imprisoned?

I mean, it would make one hell of a protest

That it would

That's a hypothetical situation being used to excuse their cowardice and callousness in my view

Funny thing about life imprisonment. Most people aren't willing to risk it. Maybe you're the one willing to go through 12 years of training to do so though?

For what they did to this poor girl (read the description of her death in the article) they should be facing criminal charges

No that's the standard of care under Texas' new laws. Getting mad at the doctors who won't destroy their own lives is as useless as getting mad at immigrants.

Fucking vote.

I already fucking voted, it didn't do shit. I don't have the power. The doctors did have the power to make a choice to save her life NOW and they chose to let her die in a horrific way. I will not accept some flimsy, ambiguous and untested law as excuse for medical murder.
