The first paragraph says that she pulled a huge Karen, getting out her phone to look up the law and even called the governor's office so that they would give her the shot.
And it's surprise to absolutely fucking no one, she is still a huge pro-lifer.
Except the law did not ban the treatment she needed.
Don't like her or the law.
But in her case. It was very much the fear of the laws rather then the actual law. That slowed her treatment.
Sorta exactly how what she calls fear mungering predicted it would.
But honestly. It's not exactly impossible that a % of the staff refused to treat due to who she is Vs the staff own political opinions. Good for them. But she dose have a point technically.
Well while she is IMHO a fucking arsehole.
In this case technically her complaint is correct. The Florida law did not ban such treatment. So she should not have had to wait.
And it seems far from impossible her position and public face. Is part of why medical staff questioned the risk.
While I agree with what she calls leftwing fear mungering. IE we should be scared that these laws will lead to doctors scared to operate when needed.
That very opinion and fear or anger at her position is the reason these doctors hesitated.
No, the doctors hesitated because the law is not sufficiently clear (and because we've entirely destroyed healthcare) the doctors are accountable to the legal department of the healthcare system first. They'll fire them for not following hospital policy, regardless of if the doctor is following the law or not
And being soulless monstrosities, healthcare systems would rather let you die than risk legal exposure
