I'm not sure if birth control is something that requires a prescription, but if it is, it wouldn't change anything. They would have to sign off on it if the prescription is requested as conscience rights don't allow you to prevent another person from acting against your conscience (assuming the action is within the law), but it would allow them to avoid recommending it to the patient if they believe it is wrong. If a doctor believes it is wrong though, they will already be doing this. Essentially, in many ways, we already have conscience rights, they just aren't written law.

So give me a case where it applies then?
