Just imagine the legal trouble a hospital in US would get if they were found to be participating in something like this.

It would be horrific; the lawsuits would be rightly severe.

It would be horrific; the lawsuits would be rightly severe.

Never mind the lawsuits, the HIPPA violations involved in this would see personal and institutional licenses revoked, fines into the hundreds of thousands on individuals as well as companies and possible criminal charges.

Are they ashamed of what they did.

I'm not sure who you are referring to; do you mean the individuals who tried to shame the women having an abortion or the women who had the abortion?

Never mind the lawsuits, the HIPPA violations involved in this would see personal and institutional licenses revoked, fines into the hundreds of thousands on individuals as well as companies and possible criminal charges.

But here is no penalty to violating a law without a lawsuit. The suit will be central to any HIPPA violation.

The doctors who performed the abortions, who is shaming THEM? What is their punishment?

How does one go about punishing Drs for preforming medical procedures in accordance with the law and professional standards?

Well if the abortions were therapeutic abortions then no one should be punished then

 

[Junia]

I support therapeutic abortions

 

[Desk trauma]

Well if the abortions were therapeutic abortions then no one should be punished then

And if they were not but still in line with the law and acceptable medical practice?

Why would women and their boyfriend, husband be ashamed for doing the right thing.

What are you calling the right thing?

Another important question --
would God call it right?

I don't think anything positive or useful will come from shaming the women in this manner. It's not going to bring back their dead children. The fight against abortion needs to come from the pro-active side, before the abortions take place.
