I just find it very diturbing, the idea that a doctor can say "I don't want to perform this procedure". I mean fine, if someone is against abortion on religious grounds or personal grounds then that's their opinion. I don't agree with it but their entitled to it. But if their a doctor then their personal beliefs should not be influencing their actions, in my opinion.
There are some people who are opposed to the use of certain drugs and some surgical procedures. If they become doctors, should they be allowed to deny patients these based on personal beliefs? What if the patient life depends upon it?
I mean, I realise it's not exactly the same thing but it's a slippery slope as I see it. A doctor should be completely objective in my opinion. Their personal opinions and beliefs should be left at the door the moment they enter the clinic.
That's how I view things, anyway
