I don’t think it is that doctors are unwilling to treat women so much as probably worried about being harassed as Dr Caitlin Barnard was.
I think she is a hero. It is insane that you can harass a doctor for providing a 10 yo rape victim with an abortion. She didn’t talk to the media to self-promote..it was to raise awareness.

I have read about doctors who have really been stepping up to help women out in spite of the very real risks..very courageous of them.

The anti-abortion crowd is insane.
