Targeting & Discriminating Against Pro-life Doctors

There's an abortionist shortage in the United States and I suspect in the UK too.  There's been roughly a 40 percent decline in the number of doctors willing to do abortions since the early 90S.  The aging fleet of abortion providers are not being replaced.  So abortion advocates are targeting pro-life doctors to compel them into doing abortions. 



One way to do this is through medical associations which in the United States and Britain are targeting pro-life doctors.  More on the AMA later, but here's a snippet from Life News.com (Pro-Life News Report 07/01/08 #4356."



British Pro-Life Doctors Threatened by British Medical Association Motion
London, England (LifeNews.com) --
After medical associations in the United States caused headaches for pro-life doctors by potentially approving a policy requiring abortion referrals for accreditation, now pro-life physicians in England are concerned. Dr. Evan Harris, the pro-abortion MP and member of the British Medical Association Medical Ethics Committee, has tabled a motion for the BMA's forthcoming Annual General Meeting July 7-10. According to the leading British pro-life group SPUC, the Society for the Protection of the Unborn, Harris's motion would marginalize doctors with a conscientious objection to abortion, specifically by effectively barring them from seeing patients with unplanned pregnancies.
