'birth control' is one thing, the 'pill of the day after' is an abortive, and by the way women *have died* during clinical text for it. We have something potentially deadly that was experimented on women, I haven't heard anyone from the pro-choice field (at least over here) protesting against THAT hazard against women's health.
And so if I were in the USA I wouldn't have the right to choose to be a gynechologist if I did want to be able to not perform abortions? Well that's great for allowing one freedom of choice... Frankly, with all the problems we have over hereI'm happy to live were I live. And don't kid yourself, were abortion is legal it *is* used as birth control, I see it happen all the time with my Chinese immigrant women at the preliminary talk: " I don't want the child" " OK have you had previous abortions ?" "Yes" " How many?" "...I don't recall...was it 4 or 5?" Even the doctor cringed at this, and she isn't an objector. By the way it isn't *that* easy, a woman has to have blood tests before and an ecography, so one would need to stay clear of radiology and lab too, why has one to be frightened of leaving doctors their freedom of choice? Fear that too many would opt out? That would tell me something...
