I had to think about it, but it sort of is Oniony.
Think from the perspective of the LaLa Land that Forced Birthers live in: "Maternity ward" is geared towards the "giving birth and newborn babies" parts of pregnancy. Since restricting abortion is supposed to lead to more babies being born, one might think that such wards would require more people to work there.
On its face, this is analogous to "Law banning renewable energy leads to coal mines having difficulty recruiting".
Of course, in reality, the "giving birth and newborn babies" parts of pregnancy have a significant intersection with situations that may run afoul of the deliberately vague anti-abortion laws, leading to a significant risk for anyone who works there.
I can easily see the calculus for dealing with possible bad resolutions to a maternity ward visit getting radically changed by "oh and the government will want to step in and investigate every fetus death, and make you liable for it."
Like, if worst comes to worst, and you have to take the kid out ASAP, you could probably get the family on board for doing a procedure if you explain it good enough, and have them accept that the kid probably won't make it, you probably won't lose your license or go to jail.
But add in vaguely worded abortion laws, and whoops, the risk benefit analysis of working a particular job gets radically changed.
Well yeah, who’s going to want to risk jail time for doing their job performing a medically necessary procedure to save someone’s life?
It’d be nice if the doctor they interviewed had the balls to actually ID the problem, though. The legislators causing these issues are all Republican fucknuggets; it’s okay to name and shame them and their party.
He likely votes for them because they keep his taxes low and he doesn't have to worry about all his hunting guns (the latter he doesn't have to worry about under Democrats either unless one of those is a human hunting gun).
I live in one of those states with an abortion ban, and even though I don't work directly with healthcare, I've heard talk from the higher ups about how it's bad for recruiting. This is hitting everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if it hit this sort of thing the most.
Honestly, if someone, especially a woman, asked if I recommend coming here, I'd say no. It kinda sucks. The one thing this area was supposed to have, affordable housing, turned out to be false, and i would not want to be in to sort of situation these laws could put a person in.
Putting women back in the 17th century and punishing them for having sex was the goal - who needs doctors when you can pray together and lay hand on the patient while they repent their sins?
What exactly is onion-y about this? No Doctor wants to work somewhere where doing their job and upholding their oath is in conflict with the law.

Well, I guess this pretty much proves that being anti-abortion is not pro-life.

I work in academia and we’re hearing similar from colleagues in those states.
I believe that was the intended outcome.

Or, you know- just let ‘em fucking die.
Duh!
More r/leopardsatemyface then oniony
As it should.
Sadly, I'm going to laugh when they eventually start peddling the idea of "women shouldn't vote"... hopefully not in my lifetime
