Most patients admitted to hospitals are now treated by "Hospitalists" who is a medical physician who treats only hospitalized patients. Most patients no longer have their primary physician treating them while in the hospital.
Therefore, if the SCOTUS rules that abortion clinic doctors must have hospital privileges, this will only spill over to many other facets of free standing clinics including plastic surgery clinics, GI clinics, etc..
Admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles makes little sense since almost all problems occur after the procedure and their homes may be distant from the hospital. Add in the fact that these doctors can’t get admitting privileges at these hospitals for many reasons. Just a back door excuse to close clinics as was the case in Texas where 32 of 40 clinics closed.
I don't understand the need to have admitting privileges. I had dental surgery, if something had gone wrong my oral surgeon doesn't have admitting privileges at the local hospital but I would still be treated there by the hospital staff. Why wouldn't the same apply for any other type of surgery done at an outpatient medical facility?

Yep. You’d be transferred via ambulance to the hospital where ER doctors would treat you. Just like last month when a friend passed out at a doctors appointment. Her doctor didn’t accompany her to the hospital or arrive to treat her. They called an ambulance and went back to work having appointments with other patients.

Neither Texas or New Orleans require admitting privileges for colonoscopies which have a slightly higher rate of complications than abortions although both are low to non existent. Pretty obvious that this was not about women's health,
We’re talking primary care, not specialists. Abortion doctors are surgeons not primary care physicians.
It just depends. Most abortions done in the US are done by gynecologists, not surgeons. It doesn't even really amount to surgery, just an outpatient medical procedure.

That was what Justice Ginsburg pointed out as well.
The assertion this is about women's health is bogus. This is about placing arbitrary and undue burdens on women and abortion-providers.
You don't need to worry, Roberts was desperately working yesterday to insure women will have the right to continue to murder their own children. His questioning demonstrates he was looking for an angle. This is going to come down to the detestable liberal political hack Roberts again and we already know where his loyalties lay. Our system has been thoroughly corrupted by the very institution that was suppose to be impartial.
