Persecuting Pro-Life Doctors In The Name Of "Human Rights"

Ontario "human rights" tribunal is getting ready for a wave of complaints against physicians for whom one's right to life matters more than someone else's personal convenience.

Ontario physicians are being advised that they are expected to give up freedom of conscience if they wish to practice medicine in the province. The expectation is set out in Physicians and the Ontario Human Rights Code, a draft policy document from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

The document responds to legislative changes, which, according to the Chair of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, will see a twenty-fold increase in hearings before the Tribunal - from 150 to 3,000 cases per year.

According to the College, the Tribunal may take action against a physician who refuses to provide or refer for procedures that he finds morally objectionable. The College strongly suggests that the physician’s freedom of conscience and religion will be ignored because there is no defense for refusing to provide a service in such circumstances.

What else could we expect? Once we as a society got comfortable with the concept of human rights that does not include protecting life from conception to natural death, we shouldn't be surprised that the very same concept of human rights does no longer include freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. Once Canada accepted the notion that one's personal convenience takes precedence over baby's right to life, then we shouldn't be surprised that other special interest groups too want their desires to take precedence over one's right not to be involved. And if selfishness and immorality have been declared "progressive", then we shouldn't be surprised that laws and legal precedents that push our society down the suicide path are brought forward in the name of "progress" and "human rights".
