Florida doctors are in 'unfathomably dark scenarios' thanks to signature DeSantis policy

Raw Story  

Rolling Stone is reporting that more Florida doctors are speaking out against Florida Gov. In fact, the magazine reports that these doctors are confronting "unfathomably dark medical scenarios" that may force them to give up practicing medicine in the state all together unless the abortion ban is repealed by a ballot initiative this November. Dr. Chelsea Daniels tells Rolling Stone that cutting off access to abortion care just six weeks after pregnancy puts many Florida women in impossible scenarios. One illustration of this, says Daniels, is a woman who came to see her earlier this year who had a non-viable first-trimester pregnancy who could not get treatment from multiple providers before finally coming to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Miami. Another doctor, who wished to remain anonymous, tells Rolling Stone that they were treating a cancer patient who got pregnant and who would have had to stop her cancer treatment unless she was able to legally get permission to obtain an abortion on the grounds that chemotherapy posed a risk to the unborn child.
