Reply to comment by lightninggod3 in Court: Abortion doctors can’t be charged under Arizona law by Freexscsa

According to the NIH medical errors kill 100,000 people a year making it potentially the third leading cause of death in the US per John’s Hopkins. So I’m pretty sure there are processes in place for malpractice that leads to death without using that particular AZ law. Having said that, per the NIH again you are 14 times more likely to die from childbirth than abortion.

Okay, that sounds good. Then, this post should be worded differently if abortion doctors can still be charged with malpractice.

You realize that abortion isn't a specialty. There's no such thing as "abortion doctor"

The post literally says "abortion doctors"...

That doesn't make it real.

Okay... However you read "abortion doctors" in the post, read it as though I'm mentioning the same doctors in my mention of "abortion doctors". Thanks.

Abortions are one of the safest medical procedures you can have.

Cool, and if the doctor fucked it up, patients should be able to sue. Thanks

Obviously. This has absolutely nothing to do with that though. You should look up the statistics on abortions. It’s one of the safest medical procedures out there. I don’t know why you’re spouting off about medical malpractice.

Abortion doctors can’t be charged under Arizona is the post right? I'm making the point that the post is incorrect in saying this as malpractice exists and so the post is wrong. I don’t know why you care

You’re not very bright, are you? The article is saying they can’t be charged criminally for performing abortions within the 15 weeks allowed by the law. Malpractice is not a criminal offense. It is a civil offense. This ruling has no bearing on medical malpractice. You’re fighting an imaginary fight. Did you even read the article?

You could have just said "the headline sucks" instead of going on a rant about malpractice suits. Did you even bother to read the article?

It only sucks because you read it wrong. You don't "charge" someone for malpractice. It means something specific in this case.

It's you, not the headline. You are so focused on your silly narrative you can't see it makes perfect sense. As the headline states, this law cannot be used to prosecute doctors for abortions. That has absolutely no effect on the other laws (like malpractice) that a doctor could be prosecuted under. It most certainly does not say that a doctor can't be charged under any law, just that they can't be charged with violating this one, pre statehood, law.
