Wow. This is quite the catch 22. Texas will criminally charge doctors if they help, which will lead to sanctions from the medical board (any criminal charges does this). And the board will sanction them if they don’t help.
Sounds like a great setup for inspiring a mass exodus of doctors in your state.
Ya, I get their fucked either way, I guess what I’m just trying to clarify is
If the state charges them, will the board always follow the state charges, or will the board contest the charges if disagreed and they think the abortion was legitimate?
Having criminal charges and retaining a medical license, I’m not going to say it’s never happened because I’m not prepared to spend that much time researching the details, but while the charges are active and unless you’re exonerated, your license to practice is fucked.

Would the board actually sanction them if they did it legitimately? They’d still be hounded by the state, but the board as well?
With medical licenses criminal charges, arrests, etc must be reported. The respective boards then suspend or revoke.
My point is, either way, the health care professional is fucked.

Ahh, I see what you’re saying now. The mere fact there are charges becomes a problem. Thanks!
