Doctors, a traditionally Republican-leaning group, are becoming a driving force against state abortion restrictions post-Roe v. Wade. This shift coincides with the waning alliance between Republicans and the American Medical Association.
Democratic doctors have taken to activism, with actions like passing ballot measures in Ohio to protect reproductive rights, battling abortion bans in Texas, and running for House seats to address healthcare and reproductive health concerns.
Ohio pediatrician Laura Beene highlighted the crucial role of doctors in defending reproductive rights after patients shared the impact of losing abortion access. Doctors recognize their influence as political messengers amid declining trust in major institutions.
