"Right of conscience"

This post is all about the controversial passage of a bill in the US called the "right of conscience." The original article can be found here.

Basically the proposition is to expand a health care workers right to decline providing treatments that they are not comfortable with on religious grounds. Specifically abortion and birth control. I am fine with that part of it (mostly). What I am not ok with is the fact that this new law will also allow with holding of information AND referrals for birth control, abortion etc. This is ridiculous. Part of a health care worker's duty is to provide patients the best standard of care possible. This should be regardless of any moral or other objections we may have to the treatment they are asking for (as long as that treatment is legal of course). This makes me extremely angry and is just another reason why we should actually enforce separation of church and state!
