Forcing doctors to refer for procedures they disagree with will cause doctors to leave the profession or move to different areas of the country where they are able to work according to their conscience. We already have a doctor shortage. If you force this on them, the shortage will become worse and access will be even more difficult.
I value being able to have a doctor who sticks to her principles. The current system is working fine.
