Providers fear a lack of clarity in Louisiana's abortion bans will force them to seek legal advice before treating patients. But in emergencies, there's little time to spare. 'Hesitating due to fear of prosecution is not safe for our patients.'
from physicians in the state expressing concern that letting these laws take effect will be "detrimental" to patients in need of urgent care due to their "confusing" language.
"There is a total lack of clarity of how these laws will affect real life situations that physicians, like myself, face all the time," wrote Rebecca Perret, an OB-GYN in Louisiana, adding that the Louisiana bans will "chill" reproductive health care instead of "promoting" it. The weekend after the Supreme Court's decision, "I had a patient who became pregnant despite being on birth control. She told me that she hoped the pregnancy was ectopic so she could get it treated in Louisiana, rather than having to leave the state. It is horrific that patients areto have a life-threatening health complication so that they can get appropriate care," wrote Valerie Williams, an OB-GYN in Lousiana.
