    I’ve already quoted from that exact link.

    From link you were talking about:

    “At the time of the discussion, Farmer was medically stable, with some vaginal bleeding that was not heavy. “Therefore contrary to the most appropriate management based (sic) my medical opinion, due to the legal language of MO law, we are unable to offer induction of labor at this time,” the report quotes the specialist as saying.”

    Again, she was stable at the time. The law required that they not perform an abortion.

    A political official saying something is not the law. Filling a lawsuit is not the law.

        The doctors said she wasn’t in immediate danger.

        You presented it as a law being broken. The only law broken would have been if doctors performed the abortion early because she voted to make it illegal.

            “At risk” isn’t an immediate threat. Having high blood pressure makes you, “at risk.” That’s not the same as having a heart attack which is an immediate threat to your life.

            The law only allows abortion under immediate threat.

            She wanted an early abortion because it was the safe option. But the law precludes proactive healthcare.
