THE BIRD WATCH: forced to navigate laws written without their input.

THE WOMB OF DESPAIR

A recent Senate hearing on the aftermath of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade has sparked intense discussions in Washington and among doctors and healthcare professionals nationwide.

Their comments on online forums offer a stark view of the reality facing medical providers and their patients in states with restrictive abortion laws.

Dr. Mark Graves, an OB-GYN with decades of experience, voiced his frustration, criticizing the Senate’s approach to legislating healthcare without proper medical knowledge. “What makes you think people haven’t met with their legislators and tried to change laws?

From the 2005 Libby Report: “According to one 1999 survey, just one in four pain patients received treatment adequate to alleviate suffering. (5) Another study of children who died from cancer at two Boston hospitals between 1990 and 1997 found that almost 90 percent of them had “substantial suffering in the last month, and attempts to control their symptoms were often unsuccessful.”(6)
In a formal policy statement issued in 1999, the California medical board found “systematic undertreatment of chronic pain,” which it attributed to the “low priority of pain management in our health care system, incomplete integration of current knowledge into medical education and clinical practice, lack of knowledge among consumers about pain management, exaggerated fears of opioid side effects and addiction, and fear of legal consequences when controlled substances are used.”(7)

And women ARE still dying!

We have, and women are still dying!” Graves lamented the position medical professionals now find themselves in, forced to navigate laws written without their input.

#duet with @susiebluesyy Can’t believe this story. This one hits close to home since I treat back pain for a living. An MRI should have been ordered as soon as she mentioned she was having urinary issues. Urinary incontinence is a sign of spinal cord compression. Numbness, tingling, and burning down your leg or leg weakness is also another reason to order an MRI. Womens pain needs to be taken more seriously, hopefully we can use this as a learning opportunity #womenspain #womenshealth

He argued that the laws, shaped by politically motivated appointments to the Supreme Court, are endangering women’s lives.

Many others share the medical community’s perspective, and they are increasingly distressed by the repercussions of these laws on their practice.

JoEllen Wynne, a healthcare provider with 40 years of experience, pointed to the shortage of OB-GYNs as a direct result of these policies.

She explained that young medical students opt for fields of medicine where they aren’t at risk of imprisonment or prosecution for simply performing their jobs.

U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE LOUIS D. BRANDEIS

“Legislators with no medical education, armed with dogma, are setting policy over the objections of highly educated medical professionals,” she said, reflecting a growing sense of helplessness and frustration among those at the frontlines of healthcare.

Louis Levy, MD, who identifies as a pro-choice physician, also weighed in, asserting that the Supreme Court was legally correct in determining that there is no constitutional right to abortion.

Yet, Levy’s position is nuanced, as he added that the government has no authority to dictate what medical care individuals can or cannot receive, a sentiment that resonates with those who see abortion restrictions as an overreach into personal autonomy.

The ambiguity has instilled fear in doctors, leading to paralysis when making life-saving decisions.

But for many doctors, the legal technicalities pale compared to the human cost. Myrna Solganick described the situation bluntly, “When women die as a result of a law, that too is a bad law, a terrible law.” Solganick and others like her are witnessing the consequences of these restrictions firsthand, and women are dying or coming close to death because the laws are preventing doctors from acting in time.

The rules themselves, particularly in GOP-controlled states, are often vaguely written, which Tiboer Mandely argues is intentional. The ambiguity has instilled fear in doctors, leading to paralysis when making life-saving decisions.

Physicians, now terrified of legal repercussions, may wait until it’s too late to intervene, leaving women to suffer or die.

“Doctors are forced to wait until a life-or-death moment,” Mandely explained, highlighting how this fear-driven environment is turning even compassionate care into a potential criminal act.

Susanna Levin, a nurse practitioner, pointed out that hospital lawyers, not doctors, often dictate when and how care can be provided, causing unnecessary delays in treatment.

“Women were not treated because hospital lawyers told MDs not to act until women were sicker,” she said. The interference of legal concerns over medical judgment is creating chaos in hospitals, with some patients returning in critical condition after being denied care in earlier stages of their illnesses.

WHEN WE CAN’T GO BACK TO MEDICAL TORTURE

This pattern of delays and hesitance is not isolated. The current laws have forced doctors and nurses into a bind, preventing them from treating patients without fear of prosecution.

Levin called it cowardice for any physician to stand by and let a patient die, yet as the debate continues, it’s clear that many providers feel they have no choice.

The risk of legal action, loss of license, or imprisonment weighs heavily on the healthcare community, resulting in inaction and, tragically, death. These online discussions reveal a growing divide between healthcare providers and the laws that now govern them.

The Panopticon is a machine (computer) for dissociating the see/being seen dyad: in the peripheric ring, one is totally seen, without ever seeing; in the central tower, one sees everything without ever being seen.”

GENERATION BORN OF FEWER RIGHTS THAN THEIR GRANDMOTHERS THROWN BACK INTO MEDICAL TORTURE OF MARION SIMS

Doctors are increasingly wary of practicing in states where restrictive abortion laws threaten not only their patients’ lives but also their careers. As the legal landscape shifts, the voices of those on the ground, the doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, may hold the key to understanding the true cost of these laws. They call for clarity, compassion, and, most of all, the ability to provide care without fear.
