‘Do No Harm’: OB-GYNs Weigh the Legal Impact of Abortion Bans

The New York Times published a chilling video called “Do No Harm,” featuring OB-GYNs discussing the legal risks they face in a post-Roe world and the ways abortion bans are harming their ability to help patients. It also published an accompanying article about how hospitals around the country are changing their medical guidelines to try to protect themselves legally. “Oncologists say they now wait for pregnant women with cancer to get sicker before they treat them, because the standard of care would be to abort the fetus rather than allow treatments that damage it, but a state law allows abortion only ‘at risk of death.’”
