No, but that isn't a good analogy because toenail fungus isn't as personal as an abortion. A better analogy would be treatment of an STD.
However, do keep in mind that partial birth abortion is performed at a time in the pregnancy when it is obvious to everyone the woman is pregnant. Post-abortion, it is obvious to everyone that the woman is not pregnant. So it isn't that easy to hide. I guess the woman can tell people that she miscarried if she doesn't want anyone to know about the abortion.

Agreed. That is not impeachment of a witness. It is the ability to make the entire case in support of the law - that there are alternative procedures that can be used.
Do people realize that? There are alternative procedures that can be used. Banning partial birth abortion doesn't mean that the woman cannot get an abortion.
