I was chatting with some OBs today. There is a very real chance that high-risk maternal fetal medicine specialists will leave the state because of this. Too dangerous to stay. Lots of women and children's lives have been put at risk.

Michigan has had a R state legislature for a while because of Gerrymandering; not as crazy as yours, but def not representative. But we had a vote a few years back to take redistricting away from the state legislature and put it in the hands of a panel. The panel is 4 D 4 R and 1 independent, whatever that means. I’m anxious to see what they do with the census.
