Just so we're clear: you're talking specifically about doctors who *specialise* in pregnancies and/or gynecological issues, right? Because it seems to me that GPs and heart specialists and various other breeds of medical professionals shouldn't have to have this forced into the scope of their work. Even if they have the know-how -- just as an architect specialising in hospitals might know how to design a church, but choose not to.

And even then, is it part of their job? What do you say to someone who argues that it isn't? What about a doctor who says, "my business is healthcare and the saving of lives; if the woman's life is at stake, of course I will do it, but not otherwise. Also, I won't do cosmetic surgery, that's frivolous and does not fall under the heading of 'healthcare and the saving lives'."
