Conscientious Objection
(Amended January 2020; November 2020)

Project Annotations

Conscientious Objection is ambiguous with respect to effective referral and polemical in its treatment of a physician's traditional obligation to render assistance in an emergency. It demonstrates the authors' intention to suppress physician freedom of conscience by compelling them to provide or facilitate morally contested procedures, as well as the intricate wordplay necessary to achieve that end.  For detailed discussion see Physician  freedom of conscience in Sasktachewan.
