Did you know that some women die whilst trying to jump through hoops to get an abortion in places where it is more difficult legally?
The harm is that if you allow a doctor to refuse treatment for religious reasons then you have to allow all doctors to refuse treatment for all religious reasons. Maybe the next doctor will refuse to perform an emergency c section because the mother isn't married and premarital sex is against his religion.
Or refuse to perform a blood transfusion on a dying child because he's a JW.
