from previous PP's though the issue is less pro life and pro choice and back to the religious stance of the DR's. They will be christian or catholic where its against religious beliefs to terminate pregnancy. In the same way its against belief's to have IVF and create multiple possible lives that get thrown away if not used.
Its been this way for years, i recall in my late teens one of the GP's wouldn't give me a repeat prescription for the pill due to him being catholic, so I had to book another appointment with someone else.
I'm also catholic (non practicising/forever asking for forgiveness)) so surely the religious issue was in my choice to take the pill,not his choice to prescribe it.
Same here. the DR's aren't making the decision that goes against the religion, especially when significant harm has occurred tho the embryo already (if the original Dr's were anywhere near competent in round 1). it is retained pregnancy products that put the mother's health and wellbeing at risk.
I understand catholic DR's refusing to do the first operation, but not the second. That doesn't bide with anything I've been taught my entire life in the catholic world.
What would the NHS do, if all the Muslim staff said they couldn't work physically in the premises because most of the foods served in the canteen and to the patients aren't Halal . They're not made to eat it, but don't want other people to eat it either.
And why don't the catholic/christian Dr's refuse to treat murders - because that's against their religion too. Why are they not allowed to refuse to treat gay people? Why are they not allowed to treat someone who's had an affair? Why are they being allowed to choose?
It is selective discrimination based on personal preferences which goes against the whole GMC guidelines But then the whole religion is discriminatory.
Hope everything is going ok OP, and hope you get proper treatment tomorrow.
