Molly Jong-Fast: By Overturning Roe, Trump Empowered Red-State Legislators To Go After Doctors

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: “Yeah, and it already is in Texas, and Tennessee and these right states.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Florida today.”
JONG-FAST: “Florida today. I mean, what you’re seeing here is women in the first trimester cannot get prenatal care, because doctors are afraid that if they have miscarriages — and this is not completely true everywhere, but it’s starting to be a real trend — doctors are worried that if they have miscarriages, they will get blamed. You have doctors practicing medicine in a defensive way, because they’re scared of the federal government, right? They’re scared of the state government, because what Donald Trump has done by overturning Roe is empowered these red state legislators to go after doctors. And so you have — so women are getting much less good medical care and pregnant women — two, I mean, this doesn’t even have to do with getting abortions, this just has to do with getting actual medical care.”
