AOC on Medical Emergencies in a Post-Roe America: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

If you think overturning Roe isn't going to be a big deal even for medical emergencies, you are in for a tough awakening.
Overturning Roe in states that ban abortion - including in states with exceptions for the mother's life - take the medical decision-making power AWAY from patients and doctors and puts it into the hands of the hospital's lawyer.
That means that many hospitals will have to wait until a person is actively at risk of death before assessing that they will be legally covered to treat them.
You shouldn't have to get a lawyer to receive life-saving care. This is just one of the MANY ways that abortion bans disproportionately impact working class and poor women.
