But the problem isn't whether it's actually illegal or not. The problem is the potential for getting arrested and having to spend fucktons of money and time to defend in court that something is not illegal. When that potential is low because the law is well written, people are less concerned. But the anti-abortion laws are almost never well written and the potential for abuse is extremely high. Most of us assume this is by design, and here this lady is too wrapped up in her privilege and righteousness to see the reality of why she experienced what she did.

Right, doctors would rather kill their parents than have to spend time in court.

Doctor's would much rather save patient's, but that's also harder when you're in court instead of the office or hospital. In the meantime they have to cross their fingers that the patient hangs on long enough to come close enough to death that they're allowed to save them.

if a doctor spends time in court, that’s time they’re not spending saving lives… public health is about making sure the resources of public care are allocated to as many people as possible

The Only Moral Abortion Is My Abortion

This just reminds me that republicans think those laws are all well-written and not a jumbled mess made on the spot by an overly sensitive Republican snowflake who has literally never interacted with a woman.
