As the authors of the CLC post aptly put it:

Frankly, this mother should feel uncomfortable and anxious about killing her preborn child! She should feel disturbed about having to face God over the matter one day. It is not what the doctor said that caused her anxiety, it is what she was planning to do to her preborn child.

Exactly.

But this all comes back to the point at the outset—dragging a physician in for disciplinary hearings because he said something that made his patient “uncomfortable and anxious” is a dangerous precedent to set, both for patients seeking qualified medical care, and the practitioners striving to uphold their Hippocratic oaths, and provide such care.

Canadian physician advocated for a preborn child and followed the instruction of his Hippocratic Oath—now he faces severe disciplinary action

No surprise, it's Nazi Canuckistan, run by Nazi Justine Castreau and a Nazi honoring Parliament.

Dear Everybody:

Doctors don’t take the Hippocratic Oath. If they take an oath it is usually one written by the class for their med school graduation - and those are often filled with meaningless platitudes.

American Thinker should represent the story - in its entirety.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/saskatoon-doctor-disciplinary-charges-abortion-comments-1.7164912

A Saskatoon doctor is facing disciplinary charges over accusations he told a patient not to get an abortion for religious reasons.

The comments Dr. Terence Davids made last year caused the patient to feel anxious and uncomfortable, says a College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan charge document. It says Davids told the patient, "I hope you have loved ones in heaven who will take care of your baby in heaven."

The college alleges the doctor asked whether the patient believed in God and, when the answer was no, Davids said, "Well, you must believe in something."

He is also accused of saying, "I think you will regret this and you can't take it back," and "I think you should reconsider."

The charge document says a hearing date is pending. The college's policy says doctors can decline to provide health services against their conscience, but they are required to find other arrangements and not promote their own moral or religious beliefs.

While his heart may be in the right place, it appears he clearly violated a policy that he is expected to follow.

It’s likely that the Campaign Life Coalition and American Thinker both know the whole story. It reflects badly on them that they’re using this circumstance to manipulate a story.
