Even without the U.S. Supreme Court weighing in - and with Roe v. Wade still officially the law of the land - Republican lawmakers managed to shut down abortions in Kentucky for more than a week. That was until abortion rights advocates won a court order on Thursday allowing them to resume the procedure.

"This is where patients would come after their procedure," Tamarra Wieder, Kentucky state director for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Indiana and Kentucky, said on Wednesday as she stood behind an empty nurses' station in her Louisville health center. "Generally all of the beds would be full on a procedure day. There is nobody in here, and it has been empty since last week."

Sometimes, part of what is missed & misunderstood in the political and religious policy pushes, is that health care workers need to have the knowledge and skills to deal with ALL types of pregnancy losses, disruptions and endings of pregnancies to recognize and treat the life-threatening conditions that occur in women who are pregnant so they don't die. The "pro-birth" advocates don't seem to get this. Neither do the political types posturing for votes who want to "practice medicine" without the necessary understanding of anatomy and physiology.
