I see what you are saying, there was a logic hole in the way I stated things. Let me try to fix it.

I did mention that emergencies were not common by definition, I meant it more as a point of clarification than tautology.

I don't think that anyone should be alienated for their beliefs, no matter what position they hold or what they believe. Of course, there are logical exceptions to this where one person's beliefs intrude on the rights of others, but, seeing as there there is always another doctor somewhere, some doctors not doing some things doesn't take away the ability of someone to get treatment, it just makes it a little more inconvenient. I think someone having to drive an extra hundred miles is much less of a hit to universal fairness than making doctors do something that they don't think is right.
