The CPSA's proposed changes to its standards of practice forces doctors to go against their values and beliefs, making them go against their conscience. There is three main reasons that I think this is a bad idea. One, our current system allows patients to find a maid or abortion provider without their objecting physician being involved. Second, many people want their doctors values to align with theirs and who will decline to offer certain procedures. Finally, this change might result in a shortage of Doctors because of many quitting due to being unable to maintain the things they value and believe.
