When Missouri doctors terminate a pregnancy because of a medical emergency, they must report their decision to the state. Then prosecutors review it and decide whether or not to charge them with a criminal violation of the state's abortion ban. https://statnews.com/2022/07/05/a-scary-time-fear-of-prosecution-forces-doctors-to-choose-between-protecting-themselves-or-their-patients/

Missouri residents with ectopic pregnancies must persuade a hospital ethics committee that their condition is sufficiently life-threatening to justify an abortion, even if their fallopian tubes are about to burst. https://statnews.com/2022/07/05/a-scary-time-fear-of-prosecution-forces-doctors-to-choose-between-protecting-themselves-or-their-patients/

1. WTF...WHERE'S GAWD in all this? Because it certainly is NOT SCIENCE!

Shut down this wannabe hospital facility. Basement healthcare is proving better everyday in this country.

If you are rich you can fly to 100s of other countries with better Healthcare outcomes, if you are not people are subjected to medieval decisions, "should they live or die, Gawd will decide. Now, throw them into the pit with the lion".
