antiabortion laws. There is no guarantee the doctor can prove "she was close to death." The antichoice doctors will claim there were other steps that could have been done to save both mom & baby, even if the odds of that treatment are less than 50%.

Younger obgyns will probably still have college loan debt to repay ($250k maybe?), even if they are in prison and no license.
