soon enough theyll be eating ass to test for explosives.

Please, let's not call this "rape." I'm sure that birth can sometimes be traumatic, but calling it "rape" does a real disservice to survivors.

I'm certainly not defending in any way a doctor that deliberately violates his patient during birth (or any other time). But my mother was an obstetrician, and my sister is doing her residency in obstetrics (I'm a law student), and recently they phoned me with a dilemma and wanted to get a "legal" take on it.

Ugh. There is a lot to complain about re: way women are treated by hospitals and ob/gyns, but the only time it is appropriate to use the term "birth rape" is IF SOMEONE RAPES YOU WHILE YOU ARE GIVING BIRTH.
