If you don't want to educate yourself, I'm not going to make it my problem.The first sentence on that webpage you cite:
"Is the medical care provided by your doctor in compliance with what other providers in his specialty do for their patients in the same circumstances?"
So if I am a doctor and think abortion is wrong I should still have to perform the procedure because other doctors do it? Nonsense.
That's my position as well: anyone whose conscience will not allow them to practice medicine properly should be free to quit.As for your subsequent comments, that is not at all what I said or think. My position is very simple. If a doctor thinks abortion is wrong then you should not be able to force her to perform it.
If it's "up to the doctor," then the doctor would get to decide to provide the service as well as refuse.Would I like those procedures outlawed? Yes. But if/while legal then there are some procedures that should be up to the doctor.
I think you're pushing for "conscience" as a first step toward outright banning of the service.
Pregnancy is potentially life-threatening in every instance. It's not your place to decide for someone else how much risk they should be willing to endure.A life-saving procedure is all together different. Yeah I know a (tiny) percentage of abortions may fall into that category. But most are elective.
