Went to the ER a few years ago; they asked if I was pregnant and I said no as I had been dating another cis woman for the 4 years prior.

They still gave me a pregnancy test.

If you aren't going to believe me anyway just give me the damn test and don't bother me with the question.

"Everyone lies" - Doctor Gregory House.

"The patient told you that, and you believe them? You're an idiot!" - Also Doctor Gregory House.

Fictional Doctor House, a role model of ethical and professional standards for real doctors everywhere.

Fetuses are not special. Millions die every year without anyone ever knowing they existed. They get flushed away with a late period cause the conditions weren't quite right.

If a woman wants to lie and pretend they are not capable, that's her business. House is an asshole.

If the fetus dies, that's one thing. If the fetus gets deformed due to medication, that's another thing and the one suffering from that is not the woman, hence it's not only her business.

To put it differently: If you could heal a severely disabled child by peeing in to a cup, would you not do it?

The best part is most people have one.
