They are all similar in that they are disrupting natural bodily processes. I wouldn't call it "healthcare" when they are opposing the body. It is not very healthy for the baby in the womb.

"natural bodily processes" are disrupted all the time for the benefit of the individual.

I'd be interested in some scholarly sources regarding the efficacy of the information you're describing.

This. A remarkable amount of medical intervention is to externally moderate natural bodily processes that, if allowed to run to their conclusion, would disrupt the body to the point of destruction.

There's nothing special and privileged about "natural" processes; if there were we wouldn't need medicine at all.

When you're diagnosed with an easily-treated cancer, be sure to not be a hypocrite and refuse medical treatment for it, because that would be disrupting natural bodily processes.

Come back and re-read this sentence if you ever get cancer.

Sucks to be a parasite I guess
