No you’re right that those with a moral or religious objection do not have to take part in the process; at the moment, however, they also have an obligation to refer a woman to someone who will treat her.

An additional problem with this isn’t just about WHETHER a doctor refers on, but about WHEN the woman finds out that her doctor isn’t pro-choice.

This popular wave of support is an entirely invented proposition by elements of the media.

This is under sustained attack, both informally by doctors and pharmacists who delay the referral or just plain don't come clean that they won't be referring on, and formally, through lobbying to change the rules so that there is no obligation to refer on.

That those with a moral or religious objection do not have to take part in the process? It would be rather difficult for devout Catholics or Muslims to train as doctors if that were not true would it not? “pressure to allow professionals to opt out of provision but not to have to refer on,”
