Actually dumb dumb that's exactly what the license meansLicensed to practice does not equal qualified.She died because she had to wait to get to a hospital to be resuscitated. Now, if that's what you want for women, then you got it.
Which was my point your example (Joan Rivers) actually supports.
If this was about ensuring the highest level of standards for medical procedures, then Texas would have passed a law requiring ALL outpatient clinics that perform outpatient surgeries to meed the standards of an Ambulatory Surgical Center - but they didn't. The law only target abortion clinics.
Abortion clinics don't even have to have qualified doctors,
Actual dumb dumb that's exactly
Horseshit.
Texas law Public Health Provisions (Subtitle H), Abortions (Chapter 171), General Provisions (Subchapter A), Section 171.003 States: "PHYSICIAN TO PERFORM. An abortion may be performed only by a physician licensed to practice medicine in this state."
That law was passed in 2003 and was not part of the 2013 law which was part of the SCOTUS case.
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE CHAPTER 171. ABORTION
or meet even the standards of outpatient surgical centers.
Wong again, they have to meet the same standards for outpatient surgery centers just like oral surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, and clinics the perform colonoscopies. They already had to meet those standards, the law required hospital grade standards that other outpatient clinks didn't have to meet.
Joan went to one specializing in ENT.
And since the Texas Law ONLY required abortion clinics to meet hospital grade standards as a means of burdening women seeking an abotion, it would have had zero, nadda, zilch impact on a case like rivers because those outpatianet clinics would not have been required to meet the standards of an Ambulatory Surgical Center, a doctor to have admitting privileges, and for the location of the procedure to be conducted within 30 miles of a hospital.
