Medical school students will not go into OB-GYN speciality.

Health care professionals are not going to go into a specialty where they can lose their licenses for doing the ethical thing, have sky rocketing malpractice costs, and be harassed and threatened by people.

The GOP will make OB GYN health care providers commit malpractice by letting patients die. And that means no one will go into this field.

Other doctors may hesitant to treat pregnant women now for any reason.

The GOP goal is to make women second class citizens, who do not get quality medical care.
