I mean, I get some of it. Like not wanting to do abortions.

The solution to that is not to put yourself in a place to need to do an abortion. Not to demand everybody work around you. There are like a hundred specialties you can choose from.

It's not like you're at a grocery store and don't want to handle pork. People's lives are potentially on the line....

This has nothing to do with religion and has to do with social control by religious authorities through government.

Don't see how this protects any individual from at will employment or right to work.

If you can't be ethical due to personal feelings then avoid healthcare.

how do you know this to be true?

I agree with this. It also opens up slippery slopes. What if an Islamic practitioner does not want to treat people of the opposite sex? What if a religious person sees certain diseases as "God's will" and refuses to treat them? These beliefs exist in religious communities and by opening up the medical world to this it opens up an entire can of worms.

I mean, male circumcision is a controversial subject ethically, to say the least, but is still performed by many medical professionals in the USA.

And a practicioner who has objections to abortion can just choose to not work in a clinic that performs them. Afaik they're not performed in hospitals without serious danger to the well-being of the mother.

The transgender part confused me at first, but it must mean participating in sex-change operations as well as giving these people hormone therapy.

Of course the left calls this authoritarian, cause forcing someone to violate their religious conscience is real freedom, maaaaan.

Good job Trump, I know you're not a Christian, but at least you're pandering to us.

If their religious conscience is that important they can find another job.

then people can go to a different doctor, people should have the freedom refuse work for any reason they want

It's called quitting your job right?

Your employer isn't going to keep paying if you literally aren't working.

that's for the employer and employee to decide, not the government.
