Obviously there is nothing "pro-life" about the Supreme Court debating whether states can order doctors to let women die rather than provide a life-saving abortion in a medical emergency. I can't believe this even needs to be said.

@rbreich And I can’t believe that would be so that they would vote for people who would force them and their daughters to have abortions in public toilets. Idaho less of a place and more of a rather dystopia state of mind.

@rbreich Medical problems during pregnancy should never have to reach the emergency phase. It's often clear early on that either a fetus or the mother are not going to have a safe & healthy outcome.

@rbreich
A "miscarriage" is a "spontaneous abortion". Someone experiencing hemorrhage during a miscarriage would not be treated and would be left to bleed to death.

@rbreich Unfortunately, this needs to be said until the Supreme Court is expanded to 50 justices.

@rbreich And what happened to the Supremacy Clause? My understanding is that when federal and state law conflict, federal law triumphs unless the federal law isn't constitutional. But conservative justices seem to be creating a neo-Confederacy, where conservative states can thumb their noses at the feds but still collect taxpayer money.

@rbreich

And why would it stop at abortion if EMTALA fails? Will uninsured people just lose access to emergency care?

@rbreich judges should stay in their lane. Making health care decisions is beyond their education and they know it.

@rbreich Judges shouldn't attempt to practice medicine, but if they persist, then in reciprocity doctors should practice law and pass binding legal judgment on judges and lawyers.

@rbreich it’s just so so so upsetting. We are truly second class citizens right now.
