In other words, not if they take their commitment to the well-being of their unborn patient seriously enough not to harm them when there isn't a medical need to do so.
Which leads us right back to, OB/GYNs may *only* consider the mother to be their patient, period.
Frankly, this makes me glad I'm probably not going to have any more kids.
I don't believe that the interests of one party in a pregnancy must always outweigh the other. I believe in balance (and would want my care provider to do so as well, but too bad, I guess).
