The new legislation, prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, comes after 111 Texas doctors signed a public letter urging that the ban be changed because it “does not allow us as medical professionals to do our jobs.”

    there are enough doctors that if most of them just started doing their jobs regardless of government policy something would eventually break and change would occur

    They tried that in Idaho. Idaho basically just doubled down in response and now they’re having a crisis because of a lack of OB/GYNs.

    The legislature doesn’t care. They’ve lost about 25% of their OB/GYNs already and have done exactly nothing.
