You know who's really mutilating kids' genitals? Any doctor who performs medically unnecessary circumcisions on infants.
Or doctors who “correct” infants who are born intersex
If doctors were ethical, we wouldn’t have red states running rabid on women’s rights to their own bodies.
Not one medical organization has threatened to stop serving everyone until deep red states like Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho etc. leave women’s healthcare out of right wing politics.
But some red states have begun losing entire obstetrics departments. It’s becoming a real crisis.
There are serious ethical questions of “do we let people die because their representatives hurt people in ways that don’t affect this directly?” Where gynecologists are fleeing people are dying, maternal mortality is up among other issues.
This is absolutely untrue victim blaming. Please stop.
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying every doctor is unethical. That’s why I specifically mentioned medical professional organizations - you know, who are supposed to be the voice of medical professionals. If you are aware of such a dialogue going on within a medical professional organization where doctors are revolting against this unethical right wing attacks on women’s rights, please do share.
I really hope the ethical doctors collectively form a strong force to back up women’s voice in this fight. So far I am very sad that we haven’t heard any.
Here's what 5 seconds of searching yielded:

There are plenty of organizations doing what they can, but what you're expecting is literally against the Hippocratic Oath. And in case you forgot, or edit your post, you wrote this:
Not one medical organization has threatened to stop serving everyone
Why would you expect doctors to stop helping people? They're not going to let people get hurt just to do the equivalent of "owning the libs." And what extra power do you think these organisations have? They're made of people who vote. They have the same capabilities as any other group. If you're worried about people in "red states running rabid on women's rights" it ain't the fucking doctors.
Stop victim blaming.
That would go against the Hippocratic oath for a lot of people
Thank fuck and damn that’s a good response from the judge
That hateful asshole needs to step down. Better people have done so over FAR less than what that piece of shit has done.
lol, no fucking shit. We didn’t need a court to affirm this. We have all known this for five or six years at least. DeSantis is a gigantic and tremendous piece of shit. Anyone who needed to be reminded of this… Voilà.
