This is where I am the most worried, and this is why, as related to abortion: http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/oct/19/whats-wrong-with-respecting-everyones-right-to/ In the end, those who do not believe in abortion are asked/forced to accept the position that abortion is about a woman's body, a woman's right and a woman's choice, and that religion, society, parents and fathers have no role in the decision. Beyond threatening the rights of parents, the most strident pro-choicers now want to force doctors to perform abortions or refer patients to someone who will, regardless if their consciences say otherwise. As Hastings Center bioethicist Nancy Berliner puts it, "Your religious rights don't mean you can use them to undermine someone's civil rights." In layman's terms: "I want an abortion and you have to perform it or find someone who will." I recall a suit where a woman was given a referral but sued the referring doctor for not performing the procedure. I couldn't find a reference for that one though. Who's to say that this same attitude won't be pressed by same sex couples?
