I don’t think removing people’s right to say “get lost Karen” is really a good thing.
I know that’s not what’s happening here, but compulsion to do a task isn’t something I think we should really be striving for, especially when we’ve already got a shortage of medical professionals.
As a general rule people aren’t mandated to do things by law, they’re simply given permission or denied permission by law. A license is the former for cases where the default is “you don’t have permission.”
That said, I think it’s morally bankrupt to not say “while I morally object to XYZ procedure and strongly suggest spiritual guidance before getting it, it is legal, and other doctors will do it.”
(Not that it matters but personally I’m not religious)
Your word salad is confusing.
