    There only has to be the threat. Because as long as hospitals are afraid to perform abortions the republicans win… well “win” in this case. We are just people arguing could have should have, when the hospital doctors recommended it, but the hospital with their lawyers and the fact they have been doing this as a profession was not as convinced as you seem to be.

    Besides, is your argument the hospital was out to kill this lady specifically?

      Any threat is entirely imagined. Nobody has been prosecuted for this. The law states it is legal. My argument is that either the hospital misunderstood the law in an honest error or they were more interested in covering their own butts than treating a patient in obvious need - in either case, they were wrong and should be held responsible.
