My point was less that doctors are assigned, as this point is only relavent to the effect that people are not assigned doctors here, but more that we are free to choose our own doctors. If you think you might need contraception or an abortion, I would hope you would have interviewed your doctor or had these kinds of conversations long before you wind up on his door with an emergency. I mean, at some point people have to take responsibility for their own health care, which means having a GP that you go to that you feel comfortable with. Make sure your doctor has similar views to your own and there shouldn't be a problem, as we already have laws protecting people in emergencies. If you want contraception and your doctor says no, get a different doctor or go to planned parenthood as most of them will give you free contraception. They have saved me on many successful dates! LOL!
Basically, the liklihood that you will ever be turned away by your GP for needing an emergency abortion is nill if you checked out your doctor ahead of time. Vice versa, if you hate abortion, go to a pro-life doctor. The doctor should be free to choose what sort of medicine they practice. We shouldn't force them to do something they may or may not consider a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
