Will doctors continue to be free in Ontario?

I have an article up on LifeSiteNews today about a new threat to the freedom of conscience of doctors in Ontario, and this time my article comes with a call to action.

The licensing body of physicians and surgeons in our province has started a public consultation on revising its policy regarding the freedom of conscience of doctors, and there is a very real possibility that as in 2008, they will again try to diminish this basic freedom of our doctors.

Please get involved if you can, and let the Society of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario know why the freedom of conscience of physicians is a fundamental right that must not be restricted or removed without placing in peril our pluralistic, tolerant and democratic society.

The deadline for public input is August 5, 2014.

To add your comment to the CPSO public consultation, go to http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=3403.
