I mean, Authoritarianism 101 includes the educated, especially doctors and nurses, being labeled a threat to the regime.
It's literally in their playbook lol
Plus they are all religious nuts, so just for that they can piss off IMO
Why are laws from pre-statehood even valid to begin with? >

Probably a clause allowing laws prior to continue >

Perhaps the question is why haven’t they be revisited? >

Other stuff to worry about than old laws that no one enforced. Like how in PA it's illegal to sing in the bathtub >

I love the old laws that are now completely bonkers because the circumstances that called for them no longer exist.
In some places it is illegal to lie under a public walkway. They made those laws in the days of wooden sidewalks, where you could lie underneath and peek through gaps in the boards to look up ladies skirts. >


a sentence of two to five years in prison for anyone who assists in an abortion

Isn’t it interesting how abortion can simultaneously be murder but also only be punished with 2-5 years in prison? If it’s murder it would clearly fit the definition of first degree murder, which would typically be a life sentence.
It’s almost like even pro-life people know it isn’t murder >

Losts of prolife would want life sentence for doctors, nurses and the women. It’s not the case yet but some states will try
