On the surface it sounds like nonsense. It makes me think that maybe mothers should be charged with sexual assault against the newborn. But that's just silly.
I think there are a number of issues surrounding gynecology and this same topic: clinical expectations, boundaries, and common practices.
A part of me thinks this is a bad path to follow, as I imagine it would mostly serve to impede the best quality medical care.
