Seems a lot of posturing for nothing. The abortion debate is as dead as those fetus. Time to move on.
So does a doctor HAVE to give a referral? I could see this still being an issue to some doctors who don't want to be a part of killing a fetus.

And also, would these conscience rights allow doctors to completely distance themselves from the abortion procedure or would they still have to give referrals?
