On Wednesday, July 20, the Tennessean ran an article bemoaning the fact that OBGYN training and practice has become extremely difficult and convoluted due to the overturning of the Roe decision. In essence, the article spelled out the difficulty for doctors in knowing how to “treat” pregnant women (or “birthing persons,” as some say). “What if there is a complication and the doctor does not know how to proceed?”
Just as a helpful piece of advice, they might pull out the medical texts from the 1960's. I do not recall doctors or OBGYN practitioners struggling with how to handle problem pregnancies. With maybe one or two outlier exceptions, the doctor treats the mother (bp) in order to save her life. No problem or controversy. Incidentally, ectopic pregnancies are not considered true medical pregnancies as there is no chance that a live birth will occur. Generally, “abortion” refers to the termination of a viable pregnancy which has a reasonable likelihood of producing a live baby.
What the article failed to mention is that the practice of abortion has become so commonplace that many medical practitioners use it as a standard operating procedure when any difficulty occurs. It can be abbreviated as SOP. And unfortunately, it has become a literal sop to many. And that is the root of the supposed problems. As any insurance agent knows, insurance coverage is normally restricted to “medically necessarily.” Any medical procedure should conform to that standard. “Is this necessary?”
That would even simplify the hullabaloo over juvenile sex treatment. Statistics show that gender dysphoria, especially among young adolescents, clears up by middle to late teens. It is not hard to find reports from individuals who regret early choices, especially the irreversible ones.
Me thinks the abortion advocates doth protest too much.
