TYT: Anti-Abortion Docs Can Lie To Women (Even If It Kills Them)



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.

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???

5. Legalize Killing Abortion Providers

They're working on it...

First, it was South Dakota. Then Nebraska and Iowa. The similarly worded bills, which have quietly cropped up recently in state legislatures, share a common purpose: To expand justifiable homicide statutes to cover killings committed in the defense of an unborn child. Critics of the bills, including law enforcement officials, warn that these measures could invite violence against abortion providers and possibly provide legal cover to the perpetrators of such crimes.

"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.

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.

I'm guessing someone sent it out to some pro-life group on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

I believe the correct term, universally recognized, is "anti-women".

Forget religious beliefs, don't doctors take an oath? They should be banned from practicing medicine.
