Charge the hospital administration with Gross Negligence, Manslaughter and any other charges that will apply and correct this trend. Healthcare isn’t a privilege, it’s a basic human right and access to it should not be denied
The problem is, they're already in a position where they can get charged if they do treat these women, and end up having to do something the anti-abortion assholes don't approve of.
Charging them for not treating the women puts them in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation where the only logical course of action is to shut down the hospital and leave the state.
And complete hospital closure is the only thing that will change some people's minds.
Those charges sure are an improvement over murder in the event the actions of you or your staff could be interpreted as an abortion.
I have no love for hospital administration or their treatment of employees and patients, but it's an disturbing position with few good answers.
It's federal law, they must provide care for people pregnant if they want fed funds.
It's state law, if the baby dies they could be held accountable.
That's fine. But if they want to abide by their state laws then they lose Medicare funding and the hospital shuts down.
The Houston clinic in the article has already stopped taking Medicare patients.
Hospital administration? How about we sue every backwards asshole who supports this unholy philosophy and make them pay for their consequences in real dollars an cents. We'll see how closely held their values truly are pretty quickly.
