The medical professionals in Alabama who refuse to treat women who are miscarrying are not incompetent or hateful—they are scared.
Ivey celebrated the law at the time, lauding it as a restoration of the state’s position on abortion prior to. “In all meaningful respects, this bill closely resembles an abortion ban that has been a part of Alabama law for well over 100 years,”
during the bill’s signing, before noting the law itself was “unenforceable as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision inAs an OB-GYN, I work in active fear of being arrested for providing evidence-based health care in this state. I am certain that I am not alone. Intervening in an ongoing pregnancy would be examined as an “abortion” by the medical board and subject to the same scrutiny as any procedure I perform in my clinic.
to provide appropriate medical care to any pregnant person who shows up in the ER with a medical emergency, few in Alabama are willing to risk their careers and liberty to provide that care.Too often, I see and hear about examples of this stigma and fear at work when women come to me after being refused treatment in the local ER. For example, one patient started bleeding heavily at home. When she got out of bed in the morning, she said blood and clots ran down her legs and onto the floor.
The patient had to go back home, still bleeding. She called my clinic to see if we could help. I spoke with her doctor, who was denied the ability to perform the D&C. The hospital never gave him any more information, leaving him confused about why he could not care for his patient. Fortunately, she was able to make the two-hour trip to our clinic and I performed an uncomplicated and necessary aspiration procedure.
