Doctors punished for helping pregnant women : Comments

By Terri Kelleher, published 22/10/2013

Dr Mark Hobart, a Melbourne GP, is being investigated by the Medical Board of Victoria for allegedly refusing to refer a couple for an abortion of their healthy 19-week unborn baby, simply because she was a girl.

Dr Hobart risks being deregistered by the board and losing his livelihood. Should have stopped there that all thats matter if the good DR has not followed the rules then he should be punished.

what is it about Victorian doctors wanting to murder babies at a later and later stage of life. What sort of cretins have got such power that those showing a bit of moral courage are demonised. Was the police blind to the feminist/socialist and their violent behaviour at the recent protest against baby killing? Oh that's right the greatest 'moral' dilemma for the godless is burning fossil fuels. How sick our nation has become.

If that Doctor did not want to deal with that patient, then he/she knows they are obliged to refer them to another medical practitioner. They know this is a requirement from the Health Department.

They know what the consequences of not doing that, so anyone who has a problem with this should tackle the Health Department, surely?

Also, how is it anyone else's business?
I would be extremely upset if a GP told anyone else, other than the referring doctor, about the reason I went to see them.

Just who the hell do Terri Kelleher & Dr Mark Hobart think they are, god or something?

When I go to see a tradesman, I expect them to carry out their trade, not try to dictate to me how I should live my life. What a presumptuous clown. What on earth makes an MD think they have any more right to an opinion on morals, than a truck driver or a carpenter.

He most definitely should have his licence cancelled for a considerable period, & a second similar offence should see it canceled foe ever

Runner, whether that is your opinion or not, it remains legal to have an abortion in Australia, so the Doctors are bound by this decision of parliament.
It isn't your business...
