If you're having a miscarriage, the hospitals "will not have to participate in an activity that ends your pregnancy".

https://www.aclu.org/blog/reproductive-freedom-womens-rights/alabama-hospitals-pregnant-women-sorry-honey-we-wont-help

No shit.

QuoteAll miscarriages can be devastating. But, for women in Alabama, this nightmare could soon get a lot worse. This week, the Alabama Senate is set to consider a cruel bill (HB 31) that would permit the hospital staff, including any doctor, nurse, counselor, or lab technician, to refuse to participate in any phase of patient medical care related to ending a pregnancy, even if that is what a patient like this woman needs to protect her own health and future fertility

But wait!  Couldn't a doctor or hospital get sued?

QuoteThe bill would also protect health care professionals from liability for refusing to provide necessary medical care. What's more, the bill would exempt the hospital from liability under Alabama law. This means that even if the hospitals know that the on-duty doctor won't provide appropriate medical care, Alabama law says that in most cases they have no obligation to find someone who will.

Bolding mine.

The original bill is here:

Oh, and the representatives that wrote it?

The bill was written by two women that are of age to enjoy it's "benefits".

This country is functionally insane.

They've got political connections. If they miscarry, they'll get treated. If they want fifty abortions, they'll get them.

No, these are state level congressmen.  They make less than I do.

See, this is the one option that most people won't consider.

Maybe people like this are just, you know, bad people.

Most doctors are more rational then this bill. There is nothing stating that they can't help. I would be surprised to see a single case of someone not getting treatment for a miscarriage due to this bill, even in Alabama.

Also this bill is unlikely to pass.

Insane bills get proposed all the time. People get elected on insane platforms and they write bills that go nowhere. Not saying I have hope for the country or the legislative system but most things this horrendous that get through the state house get stopped or overturned.
