There just is no common sense any longer.
And no...only one side is blowing this out of proportion....as per usual when it comes to the whole boogeyman argument.

No, he's not saying that. He's saying that if a doctor doesn't provide a service because it goes against his conscience, that they should still be required to refer the person to a doctor that will so that the service is available to the person requesting it, even though the doctor himself won't provide it. That seems like a fair compromise to me.
FWIW, I misread it to say what you think he said the first time as well, but after rereading it, he's only saying that refusing both the service and a referral would be grounds for dismissal, not just refusing to perform the service.
