I guess I have a hard time seeing why a doctor gets such a privileged situation in terms of deciding who they will and will not serve. If I, as an atheist (I'm not, actually, but for the sake of argument), decided it was against my beliefs to help students with research topics related to religion and that I should do everything in my power to keep them from finding that information, it would be my right to do that. But it would also be my boss's right to fire me for it. When I went into this public service job, it was with the understanding that I would be serving people who might need information I don't approve of. It's the same for a doctor, or a pharmacist.
And if you're going to prioritize choice over everything else, don't forget that the patient's freedom of choice is just as important as the doctor's. A patient should be able to choose the treatments they want/need. This new rule change gives all the choice to the doctor and none to the patient.
