The questions are stupid. Doctors need to be trained in those procedures to do them. I have yet to hear of a movement to force doctors to be trained in those surgeries and be forced to do them. As for a referral for an abortion, GPs should not be able to refuse to refer - and here, they cannot (refuse). Giving a referral is not interfering with one's right to worship his/her deity.
Actually there has been a movement to "force" doctors to be trained in abortion services.
If it is a legitimate religion yes.
Horse crap. I you would rather die than someone do his or her duty? How about your house burning down because the fire chief has a different belief? Thinking like that does not belong in civilized society.I don't want someone to be forced to do something that will go against his/her faith.
The usual primitive uneducated drivel from you. Should a doctor be forced to save your life if his religion does not allow him to help people like you?
Bull crap. You just said that nothing should violate one's religious convictions.A doctor is required to save lives, not destroy or alter them.
NOT ACCURATE. A doctor is expected to save people. Doctors don't generally do animals. Veterinarians, however, generically save "lives".A doctor is required to save lives, not destroy or alter them.

The fundamental right to religious liberty cannot be violated. Contraception, abortions referrals are things against the Christian teaching and forcing doctors to go against their faith and religion would be a clear violation of religious liberty.
Ok ....food for thought ....what if a doctor refused to give blood to patient whose life depended on it because the doctor was a Jehovis Witness?
The Hippocratic Oath
And that means what? In Ireland, because of the right to life law for the yet to be born, then that would be applicable. Not in the US. We don't live under universal laws all around the globe.
We are a Judeo-Christian country with Judeo-Christian principles.
Do you know the Constitution is based on the framers praying to god on their knees to God? The Constitution is framed after biblical principles.
That says they have the right to opt out for personal or religious reasons.
Yep.. but that forces the doctors hands per se during their schooling. Much less likely to get doctors unwilling to do an abortion in positions where they may have to perform an abortion.
Rule #1 for health care
Never have a surgeon perform surgery on you if the surgeon is against doing the surgery being performed.
There is a good chance that the particular surgery being performed is not the surgeon's forte, not in his/her ballywick, not their specialty, so to speak.

Do you know the Constitution is based on the framers praying to god on their knees to God? The Constitution is framed after biblical principles.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Jefferson promoted tolerance above all and said earlier that his statute for religious freedom in Virginia was “meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mohammeden, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.” He specifically wished to avoid the dominance of a single religion.
Let us be perfectly clear: We are not now, nor have we ever been, a Christian nation. Our founding fathers explicitly and clearly excluded any reference to “God” or “the Almighty” or any euphemism for a higher power in the Constitution. Not one time is the word “god” mentioned in our founding document. Not one time.
I say a doctor should not be compelled to do any procedure they are not comfortable with, whether it be by skill, or morality.From the ACLU:

If the doctor works for a hospital that allows abortions to be performed yes, he should be fired if he refuses. He is free to go work for a private religious hospital that fits his religious beliefs.
Are you talking about a civil agreement between a physician and his employer or passing a law that states that a physician can't refuse?
The usual primitive uneducated drivel from you. Should a doctor be forced to save your life if his religion does not allow him to help people like you?
The doctor shouldn’t be threatened by this stupidity group of ACLU. People forget about that people have a right to opt out
