During the campaign, much was said on the war against women. A lot of that was about the right to planned parenthood and various healthcare aspects for women. In those debates, the war on women is a questionable fact. But we can find facts about the war on women that are plain and obvious. Here are a few.
1. Unnecessary operations unwarranted by medical condition, such as cesarean sections.
2. Unnecessary preventive mutilations, such as hysterectomies.
3. Highly pushed unnecessary mastectomies.
These are very prevalent, frequent, and obviously unnecessary procedures, that every American doctor markets to women. Doctors do this because they get extra insurance cash if they perform these. Doctors usually bully women into these operations using fear tactics and false expertise, misrepresentation. The doctors oath would normally demand to do no harm. But American private healthcare laws obsoleted the doctor oath. Should there be new laws to prohibit such operations without proof of pre existing conditions, instead of speculations of family history and aggressive marketing?
