Hi john,
We’re only on week two of our SCOTUS Watch, with no decision released yet, and have already chewed our nails down to the nubs. Why do we do this, you ask? SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO! Stick with us, kid, and you’ll know the minute the decisions come down- and not just because our collective shriek will be heard across the world as our rage finally turns us into the harpies we were always meant to be.
Until then…there is always news.
A two-panel meme featuring scenes from a comedy sketch. The top panel shows a man with a shocked expression. Text over his face reads ''MISSOURI.'' Below him, text reads ''What did I ever do to you?'' The bottom panel shows a woman with an intense expression. Text over her face reads ''MEDICAL STUDENTS.'' Below her, text reads ''You want to put me in JAIL and take away my medical license for providing abortion care!!'' In the bottom right corner of the image is a small logo with the letters ''AF.'' [[link removed]] MISSOURI: THIS IS NOT HOW YOU COURT ‘THE YOUTHS’
For a state with a horrifying infant and maternal mortality rate, you’d think Missouri would be doing everything it can to attract future OB-GYN’s, but instead they’re seeing the effects of their abortion ban: a 25% drop in OB-GYN residents [[link removed]] ! It doesn’t take an extraordinary leap of imagination to understand that physicians don’t want to practice in a state that would jail them for giving their patients the healthcare they need. Shouldn’t this have been obvious, or was punishing Idahoans with a lack of needed healthcare the point? We’ll never know.
It’s not just Missouri chasing away residents...
IDAHO + WEST VIRGINIA + ANY BANNED STATE: YOU FUCKED UP, TOO A graphic with a black background and a red text box. At the top, there is a headline in white text that reads, ''ANTI-ABORTION POLITICIAN IS MAD THAT OB-GYNS WON’T WORK IN MISSOURI.'' Inside the red text box, there is a quote in large white text that reads: ''I WISH [PROVIDERS] WOULD FOCUS ON PROVIDING RURAL HEALTH CARE...RATHER THAN A LOVE AFFAIR WITH A VIOLENT PROCEDURE THAT ENDS A LIFE.'' Below the quote, in white text on a black background, it reads: ''MISSOURI STATE SEN. MARY ELIZABETH COLEMAN.'' To the right of the quote, there is a photo of a woman with straight brown hair speaking into a microphone. In the bottom right corner of the image is a small logo with the letters ''AF.''

States with abortion bans are causing actual practicing OB-GYNs to flee their states [[link removed]] ! From Idaho to West Virginia [[link removed]] , it should surprise no one that doctors no longer feel safe not just practicing but living in their states due to extreme abortion restrictions! They’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to become experts in their field, only to have a bunch of nothingburger politicians dictate how they do their jobs? We’d leave, too!
