Right, because you would want to be the patient to undergo a procedure by a doctor that never performs that procedure?
No sane country does this.
Maybe go live in a dictatorship if you like to force people to cut into other people's bodies.
?
I'm thinking that you missed the point here.
Point being that if you're a doctor you cannot cherrypick what procedures you'd like to do based off your religious preferences. Science isn't pick and choose, you take it all or nothing
You don't understand how medicine works.
A doctor can't just decide to start doing a new medical procedure. They need to learn and practice. It takes a significant investment. And to be good at a procedure requires doing it often.
Even my dentist referred me to another dentist for a relatively simple procedure, because the other dentist is better at it and does it more often.
For a doctor that is not experienced in performing abortions, doing an abortion would be medical malpractice. If anything goes wrong, and the chance is higher due to lack of experience, they will be sued and they will lose the tort case.
So doctors have to choose what procedures they specialize in. And obviously, nobody who is morally opposed to performing abortions will choose to specialize in performing abortions.
It is a conscious choice and long term commitment to be an abortion providing doctor.
No, but that person should not be a doctor at all if they cannot prioritize patient health.
Not performing a procedure that you don't regularly perform is prioritizing patient health.
