Or, doctors could all just stop seeing and treating the legislators and their families.
doctors are supposed to be neutral and treat regardless of sides
But they’re not. As demonstrated by the two deaths.
The problem is that right now if they choose to save one patient, they will have their licenses yanked and thrown in jail, which means that many other women would suffer due to a lack of services.

Without those pieces of paper, they cannot practice medicine.
