If someone cut your leg off without consent they'd go to jail. Why is a doctor who cut out a woman's womb without her consent not facing charges?https://twitter.com/asher_wolf/status/1007035396323082240 …
So there's no difference between a case of no consent and one where the consent was for a different procedure?

Correct. They both constitute an assault. Schloendorff v NY in the early 1900s set that in motion.

Yes, this is correct. Consent is specific. Often there will be an out clause like 'we may need to do extra stuff if your life is in imminent danger' but that's vanishingly rare

Fascinating. I have never had surgery in Australia, had no idea
