It is the freedom for professionals to provide the services they wish; and along with that goes the freedom for patients to choose their doctors based on the services they provide.... it is a win-win.
So the freedom "to" doesn't include the "freedom to go against patient's wishes", who about the freedom "not to". I'm gonna take a wild stab here and guess that it does, otherwise you're not protecting ANY kind of conscience rights. That kind of invalidates your statement that the freedom "to" and the freedom "not to" would be equal. I consider it a loss for patients when their doctors can opt out of providing treatment for them.
