I get all my Lady Doctoring at the Planned Parenthood clinic, since they're cheaper and I love the doctor. Maybe they're more PC or something - the first question they always ask me is "When was your last sexual contact?" Oh, wait, I just remembered that they take a urine sample from everybody before they even let you back to the exam room, so maybe they don't even have to ask the pregnancy question. They just *know*. Huh.
But yeah, my assumption would be that they have to cover their asses for if they prescribe any medication that could be harmful to a hypothetical or real fetus. When I take groups of students to get MMR vaccinations every semester, we have to separate out the girls and tell them to inform the nurse if there's even the remotest chance they could now be or soon become pregnant, because the vaccination could hurt the baby.
