See, I was willing to let them work somewhere else in the system where they wouldn't have to deal with reproductive health (say, pediatrics or geriatrics).
However, as pointed out in the materials I'm reading, this "protection" applies in ways you wouldn't even begin to contemplate unless someone pointed it out, i.e., like the administrative assistant deliberately refusing to make an appointment for a patient who wants to discuss birth control with her doctor.
That's the point where you go: "Fuck it. If you can't do the job, then you shouldn't work in the field. Period." The more I read, the more hardcore I'm getting about this, and I thought I was pretty hardcore before.

It doesn't help my state of mind that people have already been irreparably harmed or have died because of these "conscience clauses" (Source: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/17/174534/045/226/536744)
