Reply #53: What if a woman has a life-threatening complication of pregnancy?

[starroute]

Does a fundie doctor have the right to not mention that an abortion would be the most certain method of preserving her life, her health, and her ability to have future children? Does he have the right to sigh and tell her she just has to take her chances on the outcome and not even mention that another doctor might offer a different opinion?

And does the rule prevent medical facilities from refusing to hire people who refuse to perform the services offered by those facilities? A while back I saw something suggesting that it did. Would that mean an abortion clinic could be forced to hire people who refused to lift a finger to do anything involving abortions? That would be strange indeed.

There are some very bizarre legal and moral paradoxes here, and it would be nice to see them torpedo the whole things.
