Robert D Orr
Extract
While I earnestly support the right of conscience, I recognize that some individuals who articulate this stance have made invalid claims. . . .At the other end of the spectrum are those who assert that a physician who is unwilling to provide a legitimate service should no longer be licensed to practice medicine. Such a stance implies that the physician is merely a technician who either has no moral boundaries or is prohibited from exercising them.
