Help me understand this

If, while visiting my stupid little buddies in, say Idaho, add copious amount of alcohol and then the obligatory gun, just because, there's an "accidental" discharge of that weapon. An Uber ride to the local hospital emergency room, (we were drinking) the emergency room personnel are compelled by law and ethics, to treat my stupid little buddy with due haste.
If a woman comes into the same emergency room with complications of a miscarriage, that care might be, by law, denied?

You understand the situation.

You see they can't burn women at the stake this century so they had
to find another way to hunt down women.

2 guys get into a shootout over the last piece of pizza. Both get shot and emergency room treats them. They don't treat the woman having complications of a miscarriage, nope.

and perps are allowed to lobby for regulation of guns even though gunshot victims cause them to lose time taking care of women having miscarriages.

Wasn't this the argument against misopristol in Texas?

4. Usually, these things are "might be," rather than "must be denied." Still it needs clarification to avoid serious injury

The vessel, on the other hand, must submit to whatever God hath planned.
