KR, sorry for the much delayed reply, but whether or not you’d want the objecting doctor to operate on you is another question entirely. That goes to the individual choice to exercise a right, not whether or not the right should exist in the first place.

Exuse me – but religion doesn’t ignore half of mankind’s illnesses. This regulation addresses reproductive issues more than any other, possibly euthanasia at some future date.

In any other situation, you know you would agree, but because this addresses abortion, you’re up your own “buttmunch”.
