    Why should I have to explain my choices regarding my body? Take my money and do your job or don’t and I’ll go to someone else who will.

      Because like it or not, it’s not the doctors job to do whatever you want no questions asked. It’s to evaluate need, desire, and risks and advise and act accordingly.

      The doctor who would perform an unnecessary procedure without doing that is just as bad as the one who refuses. Maybe worse.

        It doesn’t need to be necessary. It’s not their call. It’s no different from getting an abortion.
