CHP TALKS

CHP Talks: Larry Worthen—Medical Professionals Need Conscience Protection!

Rod Taylor

My guest this week is Larry Worthen, Executive Director of CMDA (Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada). We discuss the CMDA’s recent National Conference and its theme, “In God’s Image.” And we discuss the ongoing challenge of establishing conscience protection for doctors and other medical professionals in provinces across the country. At this time, only Manitoba has legislation protecting doctors from being forced to perform operations to which they have deep conscientious objections: euthanasia, abortion, gender-transition surgeries.
