Well, if you end up in an emergency room with, say, a large burn [things happen - say, hot cooking oil could splash] the ER physician treating you in that [not abortion related] situation could pretty well turn out to be an abortionist. It would be interesting to see if your "I, for one, don't want an abortionist to TOUCH me. Ever." would be equally forceful then, especially its "Ever" part. For some reason I have a hunch that the pain from the large burn would be of more overriding concern.
But, for non-emergency procedures, women should have the knowledge to help them choose which doctor offices to visit. It's not right for California to censor this information or advice.
If I wanted to have a baby, I would want to choose doctor who respects life for the nearly yearlong prenatal care and for the delivery. For one, I would prefer that the profits benefit someone of similar thinking. For another, I would be more comfortable if the doctor respected the unborn baby as more than a parasitic mass of cells.
I rather doubt that abortionists do ER rotations: in all these years I've never heard of one. But just for the sake of argument: yes, I'd ask for another doctor if I was able to think and speak at all. And if I couldn't get anyone but this abortionist, I'd take it as a sign that God intended me to preach the Word to the death-dealing son of a bitch.
I get it. Celebrities get to have armed bodyguards while the local yokels have to fend themselves with a pitchfork. Celebrities have the right to not have their pictures taken in public spaces but the local yokels have to wear ski masks.
And now abortionists are allowed to be cloaked in anonymity while disposing of babies without any proof of a medical emergency but an unproveable standard of damaging mental health.
The number of abortionists that have been killed/injured by over-zealous pro-lifers is under 20 in over thirty years while the aftermath of their profession (fill in the blank).
Are lawyers the next protected group? How about not publishing the names and addresses of pro-lifers? Do you think they never get death threats? Ask any avid pro-life protester how many threats they have received over the years to the cheers of pro-choicers.
This is a classic case of all people are equal but some deserve special treatment because they are more equal.
