These so-called "pro-life" Republicans have yet to act, they're on vacation. They have put at-risk expectant mothers in danger by not defining what medical procedures would be left to a physician's discretion. Without that clarification, medical care is being withheld for fear of lawsuits (tort reform is so 1990's for GOP). This is what happens when politicians play doctor.
Kleefisch's Empty Vision: The vacationing Republican Legislature isn't even thinking about a special session to define permissible treatments due to the abortion ban. Just as scary; if they did, they would be giving medical advice. Let that sink in. Kleefisch's appeal below means nothing, and she knows it:
Kleefisch thinks Vos Republicans might approve medical procedures for pregnant women. Ain't happening. Get used to the "patient/politician" relationships. And doctors, sue them. pic.twitter.com/w506a8bwW0

On NPR a few mornings ago, add another expectant mother's nightmare story that Christian nationalist politicians and the Supreme Court have unleashed on our huge population:
When politicians practice medicine, and MAGA WI GOP governor candidates brag they will make this worse...Because of Texas abortion law, her wanted pregnancy became a medical nightmare https://t.co/v46UFDkLmI

The ad below would have been considered outrageous once upon a time, not anymore:

MAGA Republicans have fully implemented "government-controlled health care." To be clear, it's not like government provided health insurance, the kind of reform Democrats have pushed for the last 80 years. MAGA's big government takeover and intrusion on health care, education, and business is now oddly applauded by supposed "small government voters" drooling over these power grabs.
