What About The Hippocratic Oath?

The other restriction protects a doctor from any legal action in a situation where he decides not to inform a child’s parents of any defects during the fetal stage.

I am totally in shock that in this day and age, people are putting forth bills that would allow a physician to withhold information from a patient. Absolutely appalled. Of course, this is only in the realm of preventing women from exercising control over their own bodies vis-a-vis abortions. This law, I am sure, does not cover shielding a doctor from say, withholding a cancer diagnosis from his female patient, or similar types of diagnosis. No, this law only shields a doctor from telling a female that her fetus has birth defects because, you know, in the religious right's demented mind, every female given this knowledge would abort their baby! Um, NOT. But, let's move on from that for a moment, because many women choose to keep their babies despite knowing they will be raising a child with a disability.

This is more about male control. The man has the Viagra, the erection, and the god awful need to constantly poke the woman, and by golly, she better not express any dissent in said poking. And if after the poke, she's preggers, fuck her (pun intened) if she doesn't want to have a baby, or le poker's baby, to be more correct.

If you want to ban abortions, then for goodness sake, take away the male's libido! We'd have less need to abort if those pesky dudes would keep their penises in their pants, damn it!
