Sure we could treat every case individually, but that is not how the law really works and in serious situations no one has the time to go through court procedures. Most women are going to have abortions in abortion clinics anyways. Nobody wants to get an abortion done by someone who doesn't want to do it. But I still must insist that if you're going to be a doctor you must be prepared to perform an abortion if it is necesarry regardless of your personal beliefs.
I respect your view. I'm just trying to find an equilibrium between both sides, I don't like to take extreme measures. Treating each case individually is the only way the law will work properly in cases of conflict of rights, this is empirical knowledge according to the current doctrine.
What harm is there if specialized clinics exist, like in my case (Portugal)? Only professionals fine with the practice work there, women already know they can only have abortions there, there is one per city.
I'm sorry if I annoyed, you too annoyed me with some arguments, you sounded like you wanted to impose your views on all doctors. Again I must ask, how would we enforce this? Objection of conscience is a species of 'sub-right' connected with freedom of conscience
I don't want to be on this forum in conflict with another member, I hate conflicts, can we just get along despite you having called me an idiot? Our views are not that different as you might think, I'm pretty sure you too don't support abolishing completely freedom of objection.
