What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoctors are calling on the Trump administration to fix a system they say has failed mothers, and the sticking point is who holds the power.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Daily Caller reports the doctors' own line is that only Congress has the authority to mandate state abortion reporting, so the administration can ask, but it cannot order it.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the doctors are asking the one office that, by their own account, can't do the thing.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAsking is how every fix starts.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd how every form gets stuck in a drawer, Vera, waiting for the right committee.
