jules Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i agree that abortion is a touchy subject but if you are a dr, i believe you should perform the operation the patient needs whether you agree with it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 yeah but they can argue it's unnecessary... i'm sure a plastic surgeon for example can opt out of ops he deems unnecessary/non essential. edit- at jules (fred beat me to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 If the Doctor thinks abortion is murder , why would you want to put that kind of pressure on him (No matter how wrong you think he may be) Hospitals should ask the doctors before hand if they are okay with performing abortions (in case of an emergency) , I'm pretty sure there will always be one willing to.

jules Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 thats why i said my view was probably wrong. i was more going on the whole though, abortion aside. if they feel like its morally unacceptable to work on a terrorist, a muslim, an immigrant, a black guy, anything, is that right? i think not.

Guest ezkerraldean Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 personal beliefs do not prejudice patient careGiven how polarizing the issue is it's ridiculous at this stage in the game to assume your regular doctor is going to be willing to abort your fetus. might just be me, but is it polarizing outside the US? is it just another aspect of the American turbo-charged religiosity? i've not really come across that many Brits that have ever really thought twice about abortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirty Protest Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Abortion is still illegal in Northern Ireland, flights are full of 16/17yos going to London to have it done. Not only do they have to deal with possibly the worst thing thats ever happened to them, they also have to do it in an other country. Presbyterian tough love for ya. Its the main reason I dont want the Torys in. Their christian lobbyists tried to put through a lower age for abortions last year, it didnt go through, but the intent makes me feel a bit ill. Religion really should have anything to do with politics. My godless relationship has lasted so much longer than any of my friends marriages.

I'm 26 and I want to beat him until he starts asking why God would allow it. of course age is irrelevant... but i got annoyed at him telling me what a secure relationship is when his dick's still wet from his first ride... young whippersnapper.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 wait, so they wanted to lower the age that the featus has to be before you abort it or the age of the person seeking the abortion? Fetus, there probably isnt many religions that advocate lower mother age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
