Women are dying because doctors aren't providing medically necessary care.

Some doctors would rather risk their patient dying than face legal issues. Many are leaving those states and forcing pregnancy centers to close due to lack of staff, which also affects the mortality of the women in those areas.

In this case, the legal issue is a felony and potentially life in prison.
