Medical residents are starting to avoid states with abortion bans, data shows

Would this data overlay nicely with states that have the most hospital closings?
This is a no brainer. Red states will suffer in so many ways because of these bans or even attempted bans.
When you legislate the veritable stripping away of civilization from every conceivable angle, you can't expect those from neighboring societies to perpetually be bailing you out or throwing you lifelines in the form of qualified professionals. At some there just aren't enough upsides and too many risks involved in moving to the rural/red states. I fully expect these states to be violent, toxic hellholes in a couple decades time, barring any miraculous shifts in policymaking.
But that party doesn't exist without constantly deepening the divide and stoking the jealousy and rage of their constituents, so there's no incentive for their politicians to be better.

They absolutely should, they have to watch out for their own neck. Any pediatrician that treats teenage girls will be in the crosshairs for eventual legislation that tries to ban birth control — an abortaficient according to republicans — and prosecute the doctors who prescribe it, charging them with murder.
Most health professionals worth their mettle will follow suit. I don't want a doctor, nurse, or anyone in the field who isn't working in their patients' best interest, why tf would anyone
Abortion is the first line of treatment care for many types of ob/gyn health because becoming pregnant is literally the most dangerous thing you can do to your body and anybody that denies this is obfuscating the truth: abortion is healthcare. If you want to learn healthcare, avoid states where abortion is illegal.

This why the idiots in SCOTUS shouldn't insert themselves here. But we're going through a conservative backlash right now.
It's been reported on a couple times, but Idaho is suffering from a critical shortage of OBGYNs.
It's not a problem the people running the state care enough to fix either.

Well yeah, you don't really want to be in a situation where in order to avoid jail you have to wait until the woman is nearly dead before being "allowed" (maybe) to perform a medically necessitated abortion. And even then you're not 100% sure that you won't be criminally liable.

Huh... lede buried it seems.
If theres a 5-6% drop in applicants, but the residency positions were still all filled.... to me I don't know how this is all that concerning if the full ban states are still recruiting the max number of graduates regardless of position on abortion.
