In May 2024, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia implemented a new directive that requires physicians to provide an ‘effective referral’ for patients requesting MAiD, abortion, or medical transitioning. Many doctors are uncomfortable referring patients for these procedures as they believe they are unethical and therefore goes against their conscience. If doctors ‘refuse to refer’ they are subject to professional disciplinary action, which can include losing their license. Nova Scotia has already gone from 80,000 people without a doctor four years ago to 160,000 today. Forty-one doctors have already signed a letter stating they will not comply, and this may drive more doctors to leave the province.
There is an upcoming Provincial Election on Tuesday November 26, 2024. Please contact your current MLA and the candidates running in your riding to compel them to protect medical professionals’ right to Freedom of Conscience!
The Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) has a pre-written letter you can copy and paste or use as a starting point, to ask candidates in your area what they think about this issue. Insist candidates commit to protecting freedom of conscience if they are elected.
After the election, ARPA requests that you follow up with your MLA, using their EasyMail system, to remind them to protect doctors’ freedom of conscience.
Together, we can let Nova Scotia’s provincial leaders know that we care about protecting the rights of doctors if they choose to not participate in referrals for procedures that violate their ethical beliefs.
