    If a doctor refuses to perform a medically necessary procedure because of his/her religion, as far as om concerned that should invalidate their medical license immediately.

      The is a medical as is already you want to cut the amount of practicing nurses and doctors to fit your agenda. It’s a two way street. I don’t think a doctor should be forced to circumcise someone either just because it’s a religious ritual

        I’m petty sure most religious rituals are medically unnecessary, and medical doctors ought to be free to refuse to perform them.

      Right, because you would want to be the patient to undergo a procedure by a doctor that never performs that procedure?

      No sane country does this.

      Maybe go live in a dictatorship if you like to force people to cut into other people’s bodies.

        No, but that person should not be a doctor at all if they cannot prioritize patient health.
