Hospitals are facing questions about why they denied care to pregnant patients and whether state abortion bans have influenced how they treat those patients.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, sent inquiries to nine hospitals ahead of a hearing Tuesday looking at whether abortion bans have prevented or delayed pregnant women from getting help during their miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies or other medical emergencies.
Republicans on Tuesday assailed the hearing, with outright denials about the impact abortion laws have on the medical care women in the U.S. have received, and called the hearing a politically-motivated attack just weeks ahead of the presidential election. Republicans, who are noticeably nervous about how the new abortion laws will play into the presidential race, lodged repeated complaints about the hearing’s title, “How Trump Criminalized Women’s Health Care.”

If you’re worried about how your policy will look like at time of election as it will be overwhelmingly unpopular than maybe don’t defend it and change policies?
Wake up people the GOP is going to get women to die because of lack of care.
They’re already dying. Maternal deaths are up 56% in Texas. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/texas-abortion-ban-deaths-pregnant-women-sb8-analysis-rcna171631
Hey it’s the death panels that Republicans warned about. They did it first.
lol. Don’t ask the emergency room. Ask your politicians.
Thing that everyone joked about (to mentally handle the horror) that was definitely going to really happen, happens.
Better late then never to stop it from happening I guess.
WoP shits are killing women over their misguided imbecilic christojihad. The only ban should be on anything to do with these draconian monsters with no ethics. They will be stoning people, legalizing biblical slavery, and outlawing interest based lending as usury next because they depend upon draconian stupidity for logic.
