The state has one of the country’s highest maternal mortality rates. Now, three hospitals plan to stop delivering babies, putting some pregnant women at even higher risk.

They’ll still be delivering babies, just doing it in the ER without specialists. You think maternal mortality is high now, they’re not going for a New High Score!
Rather be dead than be born in Alabama to Alabaman parents. This is a mercy.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Lived near the AL border for years. That’s what’s fucking wrong with me. FL is absolute garbage but it doesn’t hold a candle to the Habsburg Hell that is AL.
I meant what I said. My opinion will change when Alabama stops fucking their cousins and starts joining us in the 21st century.
Which is frankly terrifying. ER docs are only required to do 10 deliveries during residency, which are often as glorified observers. I did nearly 100 deliveries in my rural unopposed FM residency and that was no where near enough to feel comfortable making it a part of my practice.
So, yes, they are going to set records.
