Since Idaho abortions were banned, dozens of obstetricians have closed shop, report says
Fox News
A new report shows 51 fewer obstetricians are practicing in Idaho in 2023 than in 2022, and two hospital obstetrics programs have closed since most abortions were banned in the state.
The number of obstetricians in Idaho decreased from 227 in 2022 to about 176 in 2023, a decline of 51 doctors, the report said. The Idaho Physician Well-Being Action Collaborative was created in 2018 by local doctors to address problems affecting physicians and patients in Idaho communities, according to its website.
The numbers "should concern every person living in or considering a move to Idaho," the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare said this week in a news release. The coalition is the parent group of the Idaho Physician Well-Being Action Collaborative.
