Summary

An Idaho doctor testified that confusion over the state’s strict abortion bans left a miscarrying patient “passed around like a hot potato” as doctors avoided treating her out of fear of legal consequences.

The 14-week pregnant woman, suffering heavy bleeding and anemia, was denied care during three ER visits before being admitted against hospital rules, miscarrying, and requiring a blood transfusion.

The testimony is part of a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s abortion laws, which ban most abortions with few exceptions, leaving patients in dangerous situations without timely care.

    If you’re talking about Rand, that motherfucker made up his own accrediting agency, put his stepfather in as it’s head, and issued himself his medical degree. He is NOT a doctor. He’s a grifting traitor.

    Look it up. Seriously. It’s one of those has-to-be-too-stupid-to-be-true stories that usually come out of Florida.

      The worst part is that this story is so common that it’s going to be vaguely similar to about 500 different specific situations across the entire country.
