Women of color have always gotten crappy OB care. Lack of abortion care is another layer. www.uchealth.com

I can understand why doctors are afraid of the consequences of their treatments. People with no medical background are making life and death decisions and are failing badly because they believe their religious/political beliefs trump any science. We are in a sad time right now. Unfortuneately, many more will die.
