This seems like a big fucking deal that no one has picked up on:   The American Medical Association has amended their ethical guidance to say that post-Roe, doctors should put their patients' health & safety first, even if it means breaking the law https://t.co/WFzen8Mnk2  — Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) November 19, 2022ALT

A doctor’s duty is to the patient, not the state.

the quote referenced in that tweet from the article they linked:

“At the AMA’s 2022 interim meeting this month, the agency amended their ethical guidance to doctors on abortion. From AMA President Jack Resneck Jr., MD:

“Under extraordinary circumstances, the ethical guidelines of the profession support physician conduct that sides with their patient’s safety and health, acknowledging that this may conflict with legal constraints that limit access to abortion or reproductive care.”

To put it plainly: They’re telling doctors that to provide ethical care, they might have to break the law. The AMA also says they will offer support to doctors, including legal support and pathways for doctors-in-training to learn abortion services if they live in a state where abortion is illegal.”
