A Saskatoon doctor is facing disciplinary charges over accusations he told a patient not to get an abortion for religious reasons.
The comments Dr. Terence Davids made last year caused the patient to feel anxious and uncomfortable, says a College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan charge document.
The college alleges the doctor asked whether the patient believed in God and, when the answer was no, Davids said, “Well, you must believe in something.”He is also accused of saying, “I think you will regret this and you can’t take it back,” and “I think you should reconsider.” The college’s policy says doctors can decline to provide health services against their conscience, but they are required to find other arrangements and not promote their own moral or religious beliefs.
