There are several reasons for this "oversight" in decades of Roe thumbsuckers, but I'd guess one is simply the blind spot about "the law" applying to people like doctors, who are, after all, people like "us" to whom the law rarely applies. Not all law, perhaps, but its ambiguities and related disretionary applications that let The Law abuse Those People but not Us.
Of course MY doctor can treat ME any way he deems necessary!!!
Also, women, how the fuck do they work?
