O'Reilly repeatedly, on the air in 29 separate show segments, called the gynecologist "Tiller the baby killer" and kept at it month after month until Tiller was assassinated while serving as an usher in his church.
Watters appears to be trying to provoke a similar response, although this time it's a twofer for these woman-haters, as the physician being attacked on Fox this time is also female:

As Eleanor Klibanoff writes forThe Texas Tribune:
"Doctors reported that they have postponed abortion care until a patient's health or pregnancy complication has deteriorated to the point that their life was in danger, including multiple cases where patients were sent home, only to return once they were in sepsis.
"And even when patients were able to qualify for an abortion under the life-saving exemption, some doctors report being unable to get nurses or anesthesiologists to assist on these procedures for fear that they will be seen as 'aiding and abetting' in an abortion, which is prohibited by the law."
Alan Halaly is reporting forThe Daily Beastthat this is becoming widespread:
"At least three medical facilities in Texas have counseled doctors that they should not treat pregnant women with certain complications because they might run afoul of the state's abortion ban, according to the Texas Medical Association.
"The group says a hospital in Central Texas told a physician not to treat an ectopic pregnancy"-which is not viable"-until it ruptured."
Republicans are forcing doctors and hospitals to play Russian Roulette with women's lives. People will die because of this grotesque effort to court the vote of misogynist men and religious zealots.
In another case out of Texas, obstetrician Dr. Jessian Munoz told the Associated Press that he:
""faced an awful predicament with a recent patient who had started to miscarry and developed a dangerous womb infection. The fetus still had signs of a heartbeat, so an immediate abortion "- the usual standard of care "- would have been illegal under Texas law.
