The debate over Ontario doctors' right to refuse to provide medical services that clash with their moral or religious beliefs is headed to court. The group argues there is no evidence that allowing doctors to opt out of certain services without offering a referral has harmed anyone. "Contrary to the respondent's efforts to characterize it as such, this case is not about women's rights, LGBT rights, homeless rights, refugee rights, mental health rights or addicts' rights," it says in court documents. The referral, it says, doesn't have to be in writing and can de delegated to office staff. The court is expected to hear arguments from both sides over three days and give its ruling at a later date.
