Kansas lawmakers are considering a bill "that would exempt doctors from malpractice suits if they withheld medical information to prevent an abortion...among the most contested provisions of the bill is the section that would exempt a doctor from a medical malpractice suit if a woman claims the physician withheld information about potential birth defects to prevent her from having an abortion. In addition, a woman would not be able to sue if she suffers health damage from a pregnancy as a result of information withheld from her to prevent an abortion...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

(11,075 posts)Telling women they're infertile so they won't use birth control because the doctor doesn't believe in it? Telling HIV-infected people they are fine so they won't seek treatment and die because the doc believes HIV is punishment for sexual activity? Telling patients that their blood pressure is fine and their heart is strong because the doc believes the clogged arteries and high blood pressure were the patient's own fault?
Seriously ... where the f**k does it end???

(14,337 posts)"We don't do abortions here". "We will give you something to stop the bleeding". What???? Of course the bleeding will stop, when I am DEAD!
But of course, Santorum's wife had an abortion to save HER life. Pity those women who don't have "connections". You are disposable.

(14,337 posts)that he had to put me in the Catholic Hospital, but with an ectopic time is of the essence. There were no available beds at the Salvation Army Hospital that he was also affiliatiated with. In hindsight, I understand fully what my doctor meant by that statement.
