Before I was born my mother had a Jewish Doctor who insisted that we be circumcised. According to Mom he said he wouldn't deliver me if she didn't promise to have the circumcision done. I probably complained a little bit at a time but, I'm OK with it now.
We have a shortage of Doctors. I say let them do whatever their conscience and expertise allows. If a Doctor's personal values really becomes a hindrance to reasonable treatment it's because he resides in an area where there aren't alternative physicians to go to. If that predicament ever arises it can be dealt with on a case by case level.
