There isn't a place for conscientious objectors in medicine.
Of course, there is. To go from "medical practice X is allowed under the law" to "every doctor/medical provider must perform X" is too big a leap. You're saying that all doctors may and should be obligated to perform abortions up to the day of birth or that they may and should be obligated to perform euthanasia on anyone who asks even if they morally disagree with the decision the person is making.
I agree that bush's restrictions were far too vague and that we don't, for example, want to allow pharmacists to refuse to give birth control or allow a nurse who has taken a job in a hospice to be able to refuse to dispense morphine that could have the secondary effect of hastening a death, but that's a lot different from a blanket claim that "There isn't a place for conscientious objectors in medicine."
