32. History lesson: Margaret Sanger was entrapped by anti-contraceptive women in her clinic

It goes way, way back with such people. She was willing to go to jail, and did.

The current law says doctors have to read aloud a substantially false statement without editorial comments, they have to force patients to undergo an unnecessary ultrasound, and they have to force the patient to watch.

My guess is that there is a form they have to fill out and sign, in order to hold them to the letter and intent of the law.

Doctors are human beings too, and they are being squeezed. It's been known for years (by the anti-choicers) that doctors are the weak link in the chain of abortion rights, because they are the providers of the service. That's why so many have been murdered, threatened, and driven out of business.
