Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Well as my taxes pay for the training of doctors and nurses in this country, I expect the ethical part of that training to emphasise that it is not in their gift to arbitrarily refuse to treat people on the grounds of your being out of sympathy with them. They have to treat fat people, drug addicts, drunks, dirty and smelly people, people who contract HIV via unprotected sex and criminals. If you choose a career path in medicine which puts you in contact with women who want abortions and you then refuse to deal with them, you should be sacked.
