Not really. I see someone taking a position where their morals will dictate their own non-performance of their jobs as both ridiculous and grounds for immediate termination.
DK- if I read that correctly , Do you feel that doctors and nurses who refuse to participate in abortions, should be terminated?
My own words are there to read. Yes. Look, doctors work under contracts. If a clinic needs to find an OB doc they'll put out the word. They will interview and ultimately hire a doc to fill whatever hours or shifts they need. That doctor has signed a contract with that clinic/hospital/office to provide services that (in your hypothetical) include abortions. If that doctor cannot fulfil that requirement then he is in breach of contract and should be terminated immediately.
Look, no one is saying that a doctor should be forced to perform abortions. Just like no one should be forced to violate any stronly held moral belief. A doctor opening their own practice is, and should be, free to decide what services they will or will not provide, and they should not feel the need to justify that to anyone. But that is not the question I addressed. The question is about being
hired to do a job. And in your own hypothetical the answer is obvious. DON'T TAKE THE JOB. You don't have a right to force your conditions upon your employer. He does have the right to expect a job he is paying you to do, to get done. Or, as I said before, " I see someone taking a position where their morals will dictate their own non-performance of their jobs as both ridiculous and grounds for immediate termination."
I'm not kidding, I really don't understand why this complicated.
