Doctors are required by law to provide their patients with information regarding risks of injury/death involved in any medical procedure, they are not required to (but generally do) appraise their patients of likely side-effects that are not life-threatening. Individual hospitals keep records on the success/failure rate of each doctor for internal/legal reasons. These records are available upon request.

When I went into the hospital to have a biopsy performed, I was presented with a little bit of paperwork to read and to sign indicating that I had been presented with such information.

I can sign because I am an adult. A minor cannot legally be bound by such paperwork because they are too young to consent to a legally binding agreement.

And yet you insist that abortion is different. If it weren't a liberal issue, it wouldn't be.
