Action Alert
The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is reviewing its current policy which allows doctors to refuse to provide services or procedures that violate their religious or moral beliefs. A change in policy would force doctors to participate in procedures and services, such as abortion, contraception, sterilization, etc. that would violate their conscience.
The deadline for public input is August 5, 2014.
Please act now to support the religious freedom of doctors.
To submit your feedback to the College,go to:
http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=3405
Tell the College to uphold their policy guidelines, “Physicians and the Human Rights Code”, that respect the freedom of conscience and religious beliefs of doctors in Ontario.
To vote YES in the College web page online poll go to:

Organized by a Canadian doctor, this petition is an important grassroots effort to show public opposition to taking away the conscience rights of Ontario physicians and surgeons.
Please act immediately and encourage others to do so.
