Stories of Discrimination

"As a physician anesthesiologist at a large medical center in the mid-Atlantic region, I received a directive from our chairman that members in our department who would not assist in abortions were obligated to refer the care of women who had chosen to have such a procedure to another anesthesiologist who would. Since I am a Catholic Christian, this disturbed my conscience. But just as troubling was the implication that I had a medical-ethical obligation to these patients and that distancing myself from their might subject me to accusations of medical abandonment.

"The American Medical Association's code of ethics supports physicians' right not to provide care to a patient except in cases of emergency. Since the vast majority of abortions in the United States are elective, no physician should ever be required to assist in them. Therefore, a law requiring any physician to be involved with abortions flies in the face of both moral and professional ethical standards." --Roger G. Fennell, M.D.
