Good points.

Evidently the right of conscience for doctors who oppose abortion are a matter of grave national concern. The ethical and professional obligations of physicians who would merely like to perform their jobs without physically violating their own patients are, however, immaterial.
Don’t even bother asking whether this law would have passed had it involved physically penetrating a man instead of a woman without consent.
