I fully believe that we should have rights to our own thoughts and beliefs. One should not have to go against ones own beliefs when performing their profession.
I believe that the CPSA should allow my Doctor be one that has the same values and to be seen by a doctor who sticks to their principles, and the current system is working fine. Forcing doctors to refer for procedures they disagree with will force doctors out of the profession or to sunnier destinations, making access even more difficult.
