Losts of prolife would want life sentence for doctors, nurses and the women. It’s not the case yet but some states will try

I mean, Authoritarianism 101 includes the educated, especially doctors and nurses, being labeled a threat to the regime.

It's literally in their playbook lol

Plus they are all religious nuts, so just for that they can piss off IMO

Isn't this concidered the primary reason Stalin died? He had a stroke and a couple hours later Beria was called in to check on him, as the guards knew better than to disturb Stalin but also knew something was wrong. When Beria arrived Stalin was still alive but because Stalin had gone on a paranoid tirade and had most of the doctors in Moscow arrested and killed/sent to the gulag there were no doctors (or anyone willing to admit to being a doctor) left in the city.

That wasn't quite what I learned, plus the circumstances of his death aren't exactly concrete (lots of theories floating around, holes in stories, etc). It's possible that was part of it, as I do remember the part about the guards being under orders/deciding not to disturb him. And the part about Russian leaders always treating doctors like shit (an understatement).

Yeah, I have heard several stories as well, same with Lenin and Hitler.

Well I mean that's one way of population control... Not a good way but a way.

They would find a way to make those women pregnant, I am still waiting for them to propose laws to implement frozen embryos to women in jail or something similar as pregnancy consent is not needed in their views
