CBS News reports an Idaho healthcare facility will no longer be offering labor and delivery services, citing a shortage of doctors and a politicized healthcare environment.

An Idaho hospital will stop labor and delivery services, citing doctor shortages and the "political climate," the hospital announced Friday.
"Highly respected, talented physicians are leaving. Recruiting replacements will be extraordinarily difficult," Bonner General Health, located in the city of Sandpoint, said in a news release.
Pregnant women who utilized Bonner General, a 25-bed hospital, will now have to drive to hospitals or birthing centers in Coeur d'Alene or Spokane to give birth.

According to Apple Maps, it would take roughly an hour and a half to drive 76 miles to Spokane, and at least an hour to drive 48 miles to Coeur d’Alene — and that’s when weather is good. There’s an obvious need for local birthing services. So, why would Sand Point (and Idaho) have trouble attracting physicians to provide gynecologic and obstetric care?

Republican healthcare fanaticism is likely part of why the U.S. is now leading the developed world in maternal mortality death rates. There used to be a saying — the GOP’s “right to life” ends at birth. For the people of Sand Point, Idaho, it doesn’t even extend to birth now.


It will be interesting to see how long America will continue putting up with the fringe, religious fruitcake right, war on women.
 
Where the fuck have you been OP?......Most hospitals that are part of large systems are getting shed of those services with expectant mothers having to birth in their main hospital. Same with ICUs.

Valley health opened a new hospital in my AO, no maternity or ICU.

Of course if you show-up they will be happy to provide a $1200 25 mile ambulance ride once you are stabalized.
 
Any doctor that refuses to do his job because Abortion is banned is a chucklehead at best, and who would want to see him anyhow.

In any event, my parents were born at home. It isn't necessary to go to the hospital at all. And when health care facilities see that money flying away, they'll see their foolishness.

Thanks for the laugh, liar.

Your trusted news source doesn`t lie? Pay attention to the Dominion lawsuit where their stars are testifying under oath that they are forced to lie for their paycheck.
 
WWE Raw had the miracle of childbirth with competitor Mae Young giving birth in MSG in 2000.

 
Being actively recruited? :laughing0301:

You can turn a blind eye if you like, but there is more open gaiety on TV than there ever was.

Gomer Pyle on his eponymous program as well as Mr. Sulu on Star Trek were both as gay as a $3 bill. But they kept in under wraps in the 1960's. If Lou Ann was actually supposed to be a she-male, the producers of the program kept it on the QT.

Poor skewey. You forgot baby murder is now a state by state issue. If one state refuses to perform the murder, the lazy ilk can have their convenience abortion in another state.

The article is linked to CBS and it's true,

Ad hominem, short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy that is based on personal and irrelevant attacks against the source of an argument, instead of addressing the argument itself.
