Like I said, I think it’s going to be very hard for an anti-choice doctor to be good at performing abortions, which is why I said about them actually being good at their job. If they’re here to give me a knee replacement then it doesn’t really come into it, so I can look past that if it means the operation will be done to a higher standard. It doesn’t matter if they view me the same as a mechanic fixing a car, or a plasterer patching cracks, it just matters that they have the skills to do the surgery.

If I had the option, I’d go somewhere else, but when it comes to medical needs that isn’t always the case, so it may well better to just close your eyes, bite your tongue, and ignore it, horrible as that is.
