Yup, for some reason I've managed to do so on multiple forums.
I don't thik I'll bother quoting anymore.
Blackout: NO! I'm bringing up the simple point that doctors should NOT be allowed to pick and choose which patients they treat simply because they object to the treatment required.
It doesn't matter if it's an abortion or treating an ingrown toenail. In almost ANY situation a patient can go and see a different doctor. But what if ALL doctors object to the treatment? Why should the patient be forced to leave their city, state, or country just because a doctor objects?
Seriously, this isn't difficult.
Now, I've already stated that I'm being pedantic with my examples. But they ALL equate to refusing treatment.
I've also stated that a doctor's first concerns should be the treatment of a living, breathing patient over a cluster of cells.
And no, despite my objections to a patient I would not refuse treatment, and I'd be up before a disciplinary tribunal, quite rightly, if I did so.
Again some doctors consider a cluster of cells a person. We may not agree with this but we can't change it. You made a good question, what if all doctors refuse treatment? Well there would be 2 options, either abortion wouldn't be legal or some of them would be forced to do it, but then again, wouldn't they prefer to be jailed? This is irrelevant since a considerable amount are fine with performing an abortion. Again, what harm is there if a specialized clinic exists to avoid doctors in hospitals refusing? We are still protecting the rights of everyone. If a woman wants to abort, she is sent to those clinics.
Look I understand your argument but imagine this - You consider abortion murder and the state forces you to perform it, imagine you genuinely think of abortion the same way you think about qualified murder.. Would you like it? Of course not.
I've already said, objections of conscience are not limitless, but objection to abortion poses no danger to society since there is always professionals that do not object performing such practices. This isn't a matter of the object of treatment, it's a matter of some professionals considering they are taking away a human life, they shouldn't be forced to do it, it sounds like a dictatorship of the 'political correct' opinion to me.
My view is correct according to my constitution and law. Even the doctors code says any doctor can object to perform an abortion when legal.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
