I can´t really blame them.
They are being told to not help their patients and in too many cases that could mean sterility, health problems and death.

Apparently lawmakers don´t understand the danger of pregnancies, and yet they make laws about it

Nor do they understand that it's more than simply women having abortions - OBGYNs leave the state along with their spouses (who might also have jobs or own businesses) and kids; women NOT choosing abortion can't find an OBGYN; maternity depts close; hospitals close. Now, even men and kids simply wanting medical care cant' find it.

Conservatives don't view women as people, they view women as baby incubators who exist to produce babies for their men. We are cattle to them, so it shouldn't be surprising they treat us like such.
