I specifically said in the case which you elaborated in your reply the rejection was wrong. My response was to what you had shared in your original post before.
According to the limited details you had shared before one can propose why the rejection was done.
The problem is not the doctors rejecting care, deciding to safeguard themselves. Only because when the government decides to prosecute anyone it is always the doctor. And the patients that doctor might have cared for no where to be seen.

Those details were irrelevant, because their denial of care was wrong either way.

It sounds a lot like you’re suggesting patients should be prosecuted for seeking care. There’s a reason they aren’t.
Regardless, the healthcare provider is absolutely wrong in this case, because there was no evidence that she might be pregnant. They’re valuing her womb over her entire person. Even worse, they only informed her of this extremely broad restriction after she showed up for her appointment.
Even her regular doctor agreed and said she won’t be using that place anymore. But that kind of thing is becoming more common.
My point is the doctor shouldn’t be prosecuted for taking a decision that the government is forcing them to take. The blame doesn’t lie with the doctors but the government the people chose to make the laws.
This is what happens when the medical decision has to be guided by legal principles instead of medical reasonings.
Your anger understandable but directed at the wrong entity. It should be directed towards the government rather than the doctors. They might have been the face of decision taken to deny your wife care but it is not theirs.
You can shift the blame all you want but the truth that this is the outcome people of Texas votes for won’t change. Women being rejected necessary care for a healthy life.
The best consequences I can hope for is all the doctors move out of the state along with all the people who wish to have a healthy life.

There are no laws regarding this specific situation. This is a stance they chose to take.
But believe me, I blame the doctors, the government, and Republican voters equally.
Yes but there is laws which prosecute doctors for abortion, which is a consequence of pregnancy.
Were they right to deny the investigation to your wife? No absolutely not.
Having said that, it is understandable why the blanket decision was taken.
No, it’s not understandable. There was no legal liability. The reason is misogyny.
