Don't be surprised if you find a newspaper article claiming that majority of Canadians actually support the new code of conduct, that would deny Ontario Physicians the freedom of conscience. CNews took the trouble to run an online poll on the issue and they got the results they wanted.
In their opinion, all the moral dilemmas that physicians face in their profession, could be summarized with a simple question - whether or not physicians should have the right to refuse medical treatment if it is against their beliefs. Notice the words "medical treatment". One may think we're talking about knee surgery or appendix removal. No wonder over 60% of the respondents voted "No". Picture yourself in their place - they read the question, they think - why should anybody be refused medical treatment because of physician's beliefs - and they vote "No". If anything - we should be surprised that only 61% of them did so...
It's not the first time the mainstream media is setting the stage for yet another radical change in social policy. Just like during the marriage debate, the mainstream media has already answered the main question for us. So they don't ask us whether or not injurious and murderous procedures such as abortion, euthanasia or so called "sex change" could ever have anything in common with medical treatment. They don't even bother to name the "treatment" in question. Instead of asking us whether or not physicians should have the right not to be involved in abortions and euthanasia, they word the question to downplay physicians' freedom of conscience, encouraging people to vote against it. And they get their desired "No" vote, setting the stage for forced abortions (at first) and euthanasia (once legalized).
