Abortion banshees do raise a good point, but not the one they're trying to make. As abortion restrictions go in place in some states, we don't want doctors in fear of doing their jobs. Proper guidance to abortion providers is a must.

For some doctors, unreasonable fear is a pre-existing condition. You can’t teach having a backbone.
The doctors in almost all of these cases are taking direct orders from the hospital, rather than deciding on their own what to do and what not to do.
Institutional fear is worse. I bet the hospital decision s are made by consensus including inexperienced women attorneys advising woman risk managers and woman administrators.

I don't know the breakdown for hospital attorneys, but on the hospital management / decision-making side, women make up only 15.3% of hospital CEO positions and only 17.5% of hospital board of directors positions

Not relevant. In my experience with a few major hospitals, inhouse attorneys, risk managers, and heads of various groups ( nursing, radiology, general medical ) were all women. If the boards were mostly men , or administrators, it wouldn’t matter. They don’t make these decisions.Unlikely

The Texas Medical Association said today that they have received complaints that hospital administrators and their legal teams are stopping doctors from providing medically appropriate care to patients with some pregnancy complications.
In Central Texas, a physician was allegedly instructed to not treat an ectopic pregnancy until a rupture occurred, which puts patient health at serious risk, the letter says.
