If a doctor is treating you he/she may be forced between doing nothing and letting you die, which could result in a malpractice or even wrongful death lawsuit, or performing an abortion and then dealing with the scrutiny of law enforcement. But -- if the doctor hasn't taken you on as a patient, no lawsuit, no Fertility Cops banging on the door, no problem.

Well, not for them anyway.
