I don't believe it's quackery, but I do believe such doctors should provide information to their patients regarding other doctors who don't share their beliefs and will provide them with the pill.
I see these people as "consciencous objectors" and frankly I think the article is unabashed advocacy (at least the above portion is)... and as such is only of value in that it provides the Pro-Abortion/Birth Control half the picture, but it's useless unless the reader spends the time to dig up the other half.
Furthermore... I see tactics at work in the article that make me cringe. Attempting to frame the decision of the care-giver as "imposing thier beliefs" on a person is pathetic. They're no more "imposing" their beliefs than McDonalds does when it won't sell you a Whopper. Want a Whopper? You're FREE to go to Buger King and pick one up. Want the Pill? You're FREE to go to a practitioner that will provide one. There is no imposition but by suggesting one they attempt to whip up artifical outrage. Frankly I'm amused that they would assume we're stupid enough to fall for such infantile tactics.
If you don't accept the moral stance of your doctor or phamacist, vote with your feet!
