How is it that such a simple decision could be made so complicated? Given the history of accommodating individual conscience in the medical profession and in Canadian law, the case before the Ontario Court of Appeal to accommodate doctors’ consciences was a “no-brainer.” The law, history, and basic human decency cried out: “Accommodate the physician!” Instead, the highest court in Ontario followed the worrying legal revolution against accommodation and stomped on conscience.
The Ontario Court’s decision is focused almost entirely on the hypothetical patient who cannot access “health services.” Yet, there was not a single shred of evidence that showed even one person in Ontario wanted to end their life or the life of their pre-born child but was unable to get the “treatment” they wanted because of physicians’ religious objections.
Liberal democratic societies owe much of our basic freedoms to people of conscience who have bravely resisted the dictates of those in power. Freedom of conscience is the very bedrock of all our freedom. It is the first freedom listed in the Canadian Charter, but it is now the first target of systematic erosion by our elites.
Failure to accommodate conscience is a failure to govern. From the Sikh student wearing his kirpan to school to the Sabbatarian taking her holy day off to attend church, we have historically, as a country, been willing to accommodate diversity. But the increasingly strident legal revolution against accommodating conscience, particularly religious conscience, would force everyone into the same straitjacket of conformity. Such political, legal and social policies do not end well.
Wow wtf had this country become

Then they shouldn't be doctors if they dont. If their religious beliefs conflict with their medical duties, they can find employment elsewhere. We don't need doctors who put themselves before their patients.
