Eleven hospitals and health systems have announced the permanent or temporary closure of obstetric services since March 16. Several of those moves have been attributed to staffing challenges.
So since Roe v Wade was announced to be revoked but slightly before it was officially confirmed. Which makes me angry at the news for not reporting on this fervently in March. I've still not seen this be reported on even now. (Aside from locally or by those who were already tracking the data themselves.) I'm referring to the same fever as Trump's possible arrest. Which it deserves far more attention for.
I thought this was new but apparently it's a very big issue for a while now.

Maternity deserts? If they already got a name for it this has been going on for a while, right?
Yep
