DOCTORS CHOICE ON PERFORMING ABORTIONS:

ONTARIO HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

The London Press, September 4 2008

The Ontario Human Rights Commission just threw its weight behind a draft being proposed by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons that would force doctors to "check their beliefs at the door" and provide any medical service a patient desires, under the threat of being dragged into a Human Rights Tribunal. This is insane. When did doctors become a McDonalds drive-through, where we can order whatever we want and they are forced to give it to us, at the threat of losing their license, even if what we are ordering is not in our best interest? And how has Canada, a country which prides itself on diversity and freedom, become an endorser of head-hunting and religious persecution? After 11 years and $120,000 in Medical School, I think doctors have earned the right to say no.
