This is interesting, given that only a few weeks ago there was a bit of a kerfuffle over some doctors in Ottawa who were exercising their conscience rights and refusing to prescribe the Pill, both for medical and moral reasons.
Now the College of Physicians and Surgeons are reviewing their policy:
The College’s Physicians and the Ontario Human Rights Code policy is currently being reviewed. This policy sets out physicians’ legal obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code) and the College’s expectations that physicians will respect the fundamental rights of those who seek their medical services. It aims to assist the profession in understanding its existing legal and professional obligations, and provide physicians with guidance about how to comply with these obligations in everyday practice.
They are also looking for input, for people to e-mail them with their comments, or fill out a brief on-line survey. Given the importance of this issue, I think people should respond and protect our doctors.

Agreed, the timing of this review is very odd indeed. Can’t help but feel that this is yet another go at potentially restricting the conscience rights of physicians. What will the CPSO do if they get more feedback from activists on the side of restricting freedom of conscience? Will they use that as an excuse to then go ahead and do so? And of course this very important topic is being thrown out there right at the end of the school year as people gear down for the summer, with the deadline coming at the start of August – that should just about minimize the public input, and leave the discussion only to activists.
