   Even with such as the case, I can still see very well how it would fit into
the civil rights issue.... if not more so than when it was only discrimination
against a woman.  While we can be fairly certain that Roe v Wade  did not
create a situation in which doctors are forced to provide this... has it
created such a potential situation?
   Would a federal ruling mandating, not that health care providers &
institutions provide abortions, but that they at least provide some sort of
"counseling" (for lack of a better term) and sound medical referals to a
proffesional who is willing to provide the abortion still be discrimination
against a docor?
   Would requiring such still be inhibiting a Doctor's freedom of choice?
Would this be the kind of law that serves not to protect the individual's
freedom, but to protect the individual FROM their freedom? Or would it be
protecting the freedom and civil rights of each individual by: first requiring
that a doctor does their utmost to uphold their oath, provide quality care and
assistance, while allowing them to not be forced into performing (elective)
surgery that may be against their religous and/ or political beliefs; and
second by still allowing the woman freedom of choice, and knowledgable access
to quality health care?
