well, i don't see any scared lawyers or doctors though we can come up with a lot of ways to outsource and automate [significant part of] their jobs. Actually the outsourcing and the automation have been successfully happening there (an actual example, the detailed hi-res microscope pictures are sent to India, analyzed there and results here are signed off by US licensed professional - everybody is happy, software provider, India employees and the US professional) and so far these industries have mostly embraced it.

Lawyers get outsourced. Usually just the routine paperwork stuff that the associates would otherwise handle, but they don't get off scot-free.
There's also not a wholesale attack by an entire political party and news network against either of those professions.
