I do not think that doctors or other professionals in Alberta or Canada should be forced to refer to any procedure which are not usually medically necessary / voluntary or for which they have a constitutional right to object to or object to based on conscience. Examples MAID, abortions etc. Requiring professionals to violate their conscience or their constitutional rights is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Patients who wish to ask for controversial services can simply ask other staff for assistance or organizations can post information in public areas as to where they can get services rather than forcing staff to violate either their constitutional rights or their conscience. We want professionals to pay attention to the conscience rather than ignore or suppress it.
